About Ed
With the initials ERS, which is an acronym pronounced “ears”, It is not surprising to find Ed to have a love for music as a listener and player. After starting college with a soccer scholarship Ed obtained a Bachelor of Science in Audio Engineering from the University of Colorado. Using that degree in the Pro Audio recording industry for over 15 years gave Ed the opportunity to work with some of the best audio and acoustic designers in the business. For over 20 years, Ed has graciously used his knowledge to help customers easily understand new technology. Then show them how to simply use it.
