Genelec Biog
For over 40 years, Genelec studio monitoring solutions have delivered truthful, neutral sound reproduction — enabling engineers and creatives to make accurate and reliable mix decisions, even in challenging rooms.
Founded in Finland by childhood friends Ilpo Martikainen and Topi Partanen, the company’s first monitor, the S30, instantly became the blueprint for Genelec’s future direction. Its active design delivered consistent performance, total reliability, and the ability to adapt to the acoustic environment it was operating in.
Genelec’s growing range of Smart Active Monitors work closely with GLM calibration software, allowing each monitor to be completely optimised for the room, producing mixes that translate consistently to the outside world - from stereo to immersive.
For headphone users, Genelec’s latest Aural ID software development delivers a more truthful, reliable and completely personalised listening experience, allowing the user to switch between monitors and headphones seamlessly.
Aki Mäkivirta BiogAki Mäkivirta joined Genelec in 1995. He originally worked for the Nokia Research Centre and teamed up with Ari Varla of Genelec during a joint venture between the two companies, where Mäkivirta demonstrated how to replace analogue filters with digital processing using the 1031A nearfield monitor. As a result, Mäkivirta joined Genelec to pioneer the creation of the original 8200 series of Smart Active Monitors, before becoming R&D Director in 2013.

Eventide Biog
Eventide have spent the past 50 years creating technical solutions for various industries. Richard Factor initially founded the business in 1971 to create custom-made solutions for studio engineers. The first product was a tape search unit for the Ampex MM1000, built for New York Producer Steve Katz to assist his workflow in the studio. This led to Ampex themselves requesting units and a range of small electronic projects followed. One of those projects became the 1745 Digital Delay Line with the introduction of RAM and later, pitch change. In 1972 Tony Agnello joined the company and developed the H910 Harmonizer® which became a huge success and was followed by the H949 with ‘deglitch’ feature, allowing for cleaner pitch control. At this time they started to develop products for the broadcast market, including the Monstermat and the Mono Stereo Matrix unit. This led on to them developing HP compatible RAM boards, HPIB buffers and ethernet cards. In the 80s they returned to their original idea of developing a general purpose digital audio processor utilising DSP and the Eventide SP2016 was created. Following a move to larger premises, Eventide became involved in developing moving maps for aviation use. They also solved another problem for the broadcast and customer service industry by creating the Logging Recorder, a DVD-RAM storage media. Today their tech is used extensively within the broadcast, music, aviation and customer service industries.
