Reviewer's Bio

Mike Mineo

  Since my very early days music, as well as audio and the accompanying technologies, has inspired and driven me. Thanks to the enduring motivation and support of my parents, I was educated in classical guitar. Armed with this education and several years of guitar playing, I was well prepared to lead my first semi-professional band at the age of 16. Next to my traditional studies, I continued my music by working as an assistant in numerous recording and mixing sessions, learning the ropes of audio engineering in various recording studios and in live sound situations. After earning my A&P license from Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology and numerous courses in electronics, I opened my business where I honed my skills in high end custom pro and car audio.
