Jerry Harvey Audio Joins Sound Devices

Sound Devices announced the acquisition of US-based in-ear monitoring pioneer Jerry Harvey (JH) Audio. The deal brings together two strong audio brands under the Audiotonix group portfolio, focused on delivering audio solutions to artists and performers, on stage, on location, and in the studio. Adding an IEM company inside a group that already comprises Allen & Heath, Calrec, DiGiCo, KLANG:technologies, and Solid State Logic is certainly significant. For Sound Devices, IEMs are a natural expansion for its growing range of Astral RF wireless products.

Knowles Corporation announced a new partnership with JH Audio as it debuts Sharona, an over-the-top, flagship 16-driver IEM design using a four-way crossover that is intended to serve the ultimate sound quality to performing musicians and sound engineers alike. The new in-ear monitors are the first product to incorporate the superior treble output capability of the new Knowles RAU-34851-B148 balanced armature Supertweeter.

French touring market leader L-Acoustics continues its brand diversification and marketing efforts now getting into the vibrant and fast growing In-Ear Monitor (IEM) market, that serves musicians, sound engineers and stage technicians, while also catering for the personal audio diehards and music enthusiasts. To turn this highly synergetic concept a reality, L-Acoustics reached out to IEM pioneer Jerry Harvey and its brand JH Audio, long serving musicians and the live performance industry.
