Industry Pioneers

In an effort to highlight the scientific contributions that formed the foundations of the commercial AV industry, Sound & Communications is re-launching its “Industry Pioneers” series of articles.

The original series of 21 articles was written between 2000 and 2011 by R. David Read, a longtime contributor to Sound & Communications who died in 2015. Much like Read sought to honor the work of the historical figures who paved the way for today’s AV technology through his writing, we also hope to honor Read’s contributions to our publication by sharing his work with a wider audience.
