Sound Devices celebrates its eleventh year as one of the industry's leading manufacturers of portable audio mixers, digital recorders and related audio equipment for production sound.
Founded by Jon Tatooles, Jim Koomar and Matt Anderson in 1998, Sound Devices' focus has been on building relationships with its users and developing technologies tailored to their specific needs.

These models and others in the Sound Devices line have become the top choice for sound mixers of episodic television, film, documentary, reality, news organisations, and for a wide range of on-location applications.
Jon Tatooles, Sound Devices Managing Director, said: "The field and on-location production market has always been a passion of ours. Jim, Matt and I are driven be gear and enjoy developing new and innovative products for our users.
