Audio Society of MN

Tuesday, October 27, 2020

The Audio Society of MN is moving its monthly meetings and events online for the 2020-2021 season. Their next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 27.

From the Audio Society of MN:
"We will proudly host a Zoom meeting beginning at 6:30 PM with Peter Ledermann and John Toney of Soundsmith manufacturing, a leading producer of turntable cartridges.

We will see and hear, within Zoom limitations, a number of Soundsmith offerings. Additionally, there should be no shortage of industry and sound observations from both gentlemen.

To save time during the presentation, please send any questions you might have to by October 13, and we will try to get them to Soundsmith ahead of time.

Please be online with us as we welcome Soundsmith to the Audio Society. Attendance is free for all, but you’ll have to be on your own for light refreshments.

Please know that these and all online meeting dates are fluid and subject to change. We are doing our best to keep meetings on Tuesdays, but changes and even cancellations happen. We’ll always let you know, as soon as we know."

If you would like to join the online meetup please contact the Audio Society of MN via email for the meeting information: contact at audiomn dot org.

Future MSP Audio Geeks events

As we look ahead to the coming year and anticipate the need to host our meetups online we thought this would be a good time to check in and hear what you want out of our time together.

Are monthly online meetups of interest to you? Do you want to give us a virtual tour of your studio? Is there a skill you'd like to teach to or learn from someone? Is Zoom an accessible platform for you or should we find something else? What else have we not thought about?

We'd love to hear your ideas! Please send us any feedback via email to mspaudiogeeks at gmail dot com.
