I started my AV career at 17 years old. My enthusiasm for Video Games pushed me into the world of Home Cinema. A well calibrated surround sound system will extend and simulate the world you see on screen. For me that meant I could hear a car behind me going for an overtake or an enemy player walking in the next room.
When I applied the same rules to movies it gave me a deeper understanding of sound staging and recreating a scene with immersive, realistic sound; drawing me further into the film. Additionally, my father introduced me to the world of separates HiFi from a very young age. One of my earliest memories is him sitting me on his lap and playing me a new album through his overhead cans.
Possibly the only hobby I care about more than my home cinema and games consoles is my motorbike. I ride every day and spend any spare moment taking care of it.
The word “orange” rhymes with “door hinge” if you pronounce it right.
