Peter Ledermann has a
long history in audio that stems from his
very early years, initiating from a deep fascination
with science, nature, and music. He opened
the Soundsmith repair center for high end
audio in 1969 at Audio Experts in White Plains
NY, and taught audio engineering and service
as he has done continuously for the past 47
years.
In Peters words:
In 1973 he was offered
a position with RAM Audio in Danbury Connecticut.
Peter was responsible for assisting with engineering
and oversaw all of manufacturing and training
production personnel in manufacturing two
high end power amplifiers as well as two preamplifier
designs, and a Strain Gauge cartridge/preamp
system.
In 1976 Peter became Director
of Engineering at the Bozak Corporation in
Norwalk Connecticut. He re-engineered an analog
rear channel delay system, all of Bozaks
complete line of varied electronics, and developed
a new aluminum cone 6 wideband driver
for his new miniature Bozak speaker model
MB-80.
In 1991, Peter left IBM
to pursue the Soundsmith effort full time.
He continued to mentor and teach audio engineering
through service, designed and developed his
own line of speakers, amplifiers, preamplifiers
and continued to develop new ideas for cartridges.
In addition to being an
artist and world-renowned audio engineer,
Ledermann is also a published poet., here:
