## Resource

On this episode of the AXPONA Audio Insider Podcast, Lenny Florentine sits down with Brad Lunde of Lone Mountain Audio to explore the world of professional studio monitoring and its connection to high end home audio. Brad shares his journey from aspiring musician and hi-fi salesman to becoming the U.S. importer for ATC speakers. The conversation dives into how ATC became one of the most respected studio monitor brands in the world by designing and manufacturing every component in house, focusing on extremely low distortion and true accuracy rather than exaggerated sound. Brad explains why many legendary artists and recording engineers rely on ATC to produce their music, and how audiophiles can hear recordings exactly the way they were intended to sound. They also discuss the surprising connection between audiophiles and recording engineers, famous studios using ATC, and what attendees can expect to hear from the brand at AXPONA.
