Remembering a Broadcast Legend | Ron Scalise 1953 - 2007 | <br> Ron Scalise Memorial Fund
11th Jan '08 ]  Blue Sky Press Release

My cell phone rang one night. I was sitting on the couch mindlessly scrolling through the endless channels on TV and it was Ron asking me, "where are you?” Not, “how are you?” or “what's going on?” No. Only, “where are you?” Having a travel schedule as demanding as his, we always started our conversations this way. I surprised him and said I was home in LA and shot back, "where are you?” "Never mind", he said. “Turn on ESPN and tell me what ‘it’ sounds like.” As I changed the channel, of course I realized he was in a broadcast truck working an event and once again wanted to know how "it" sounded and what we could do to improve "it". His pursuit of "it" was never-ending, and will always remind me that his passion to make "it" sound better than anybody else is why Ron Scalise and I became friends.

18th Oct '06 ]  Blue Sky Press Release

About 6 years ago, my partners and I had a number of meetings to discuss designing a new series of studio monitors. After much debate, we decided there was little point in building another set of “me too” monitors, in the typical 5”, 6” and 8” 2-way configurations. What we felt was needed was a different approach that overcame some of the limitations of current monitors and provided tangible real world benefits to the recording engineer.
