David Reaves Audio and Aqua Broadcast have announced a partnership.
Industry veterans David Reaves and Rich Redmond are co-founders of the new David Reaves Audio venture. In a release, the two companies said the collaboration enables manufacturing and distribution of high-performance audio products for radio broadcasters.
UK-based Aqua will produce the products designed by Reaves. An Aqua spokesperson said the company expects to release several such products this year, including one to be announced at the NAB Show in April.
“I’m excited to bring fresh ideas and innovations to the industry with the help of Rich Redmond and Aqua Broadcast,” Reaves said in the release.
Reaves, who lives in Germany, was chief engineer at WHTZ(FM) “Z100” in New York from 1988—1996. He has also worked with NBC-TV. In addition to recent independent consulting, Reaves co-founded TransLanTech sound where he spent several years in the 2000s designing analog and digital audio level control algorithms. In that time, Reaves developed the Ariane processor line, named after his wife.
Redmond retains his full-time role at Broadcast Electronics. He told Radio World that he and Reaves have known one another since Redmond worked at Northeast Broadcast Lab and Reaves was at Z100.
