Future Sonics Ear Monitors (R) brand Personal Professional Earphones
Description
In 2005, Future Sonics celebrated their twentieth anniversary as the original developers of the in-the-ear type personal monitoring concept and the Ear Monitors® brand created by company founder and president, Marty Garcia. According to Garcia, "it goes back to responding to a real need during the time when I was working with Todd Rundgren. It was in 1985 and I was trying to address the issues of vocal fatigue while touring in a wide range of venue sizes. Todd [Rundgren] had said that if I could just put the sound 'in' his head...I was on a roll from there." Garcia developed the original earpieces by using a gel-based denture adhesive and various types of earbud-type drivers - eventually and literally going through thousands at a time for the right quality - until realizing that he had stumbled onto something that could be very effective when properly used.
"As more and more artists and engineers got behind what we were doing," Garcia continues, "I developed proprietary transducers and custom casings with such strong success that I sold my production company at that time and started Future Sonics in order to focus on the Ear Monitors® brand exclusively." In the twenty years since, Future Sonics has continued to lead the industry with revolutionary concepts and a focus on sound quality first and foremost. In addition to their unique designs and custom work, the company offers complete client services and consulting worldwide. Their client list is literally a "who's who" of the entertainment business as well with artists like Destiny's Child, Bon Jovi, Jaci Velasquez, Jimmy Buffet, Brooks and Dunn, U2, Shania Twain, Trace Adkins, Clay Aiken, The Tonight Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, Fox News, and on and on.
"In twenty years, we have learned a lot and we keep working in the field in everything from live music to stage and theater to broadcasting," says Garcia. "With the new audience that has discovered our products in the iPod and portable audio/video markets, we're very pleased to embrace that market as well. It is an exciting time for us." Future Sonics is continuing to work with hearing conservation organizations like H.E.A.R. as well to educate the public on issues of responsible and safe listening levels.
