A.J. Wells the guy who looks like David Crosby
Product Specialist Dane Tate
Pro Audio Distribution is proud to be a distributor of XQPAudio products.
Chief engineer A.J. Wells is the guy who looks like David Crosby. Product Specialist Dane Tate is the one who doesn’t look so much like David Crosby.
These two met back in 1986 at the University of Oklahoma while Dane was a student in the journalism school and A.J. arrived as the new chief engineer for the television facility. One day Dane saw a dbx noise reduction unit that A.J. had left sitting upside down in a rack. This spelled xqp, much to their amusement, and that part of the deal was born.
Dane designed and briefly manufactured the #31 Optical De-esser back in the late 1990’s. Then in 2009 Dane and A.J. decided to team up and carry on with the de-esser in the 500-series format.
A number of nifty products have followed.
