After their paths first crossed when working on the A-Designs Pacifica preamp (based on an old Quad-Eight design), Ken Hirsch and A-Designs president Peter Montessi agreed to collaborate on the resurrection of Electrodyne. The result, to date, is two 500-series modules, the 501 microphone preamp and the 511 EQ.
Ken Hirsch has had a varied career in live sound, studio recording, product support and electronics. These days he and Josie, his wife and partner, head up their original company, Orphan Audio, along with the revamped Quad Eight and Electrodyne brands.
