APOPKA, FL — Jerry Harvey, a designer of personal monitors who had his beginnings with Van Halen and established Ultimate Ears, may have founded a new company in 2007, JH Audio, that dealt with aviation headsets. But Harvey, a pilot since 2003, is circling back to the world of live sound.
A phone call from a former client convinced Harvey that the time was right to get back in the live sound market. Harvey saw an opportunity for improvement in the PM industry.
“The IEMs that I designed between 1995 and 2007, in my opinion, are dated technology. I have had ideas for a new generation of products, and this is the perfect time to deliver them to the marketplace.”
The first product entry, introduced by JH Audio in June 2009, was the JH 13, which was put into service with artists including Lady Gaga, Linkin Park and Mick Jones from Foreigner.
The JH 13 took 18 months to develop and features dual driver technology. It has a three-way crossover with dual drivers on the low, mid and high bands. It is the first six-driver earpiece from any PM manufacturer.
John “Elmo” Sheldon, currently touring with Guns & Roses, said, “JH13's are a perfect combination of quality and innovation. It's great to have a trendsetter like Jerry back in the industry."
