Giant Squid Audio Lab
Company History and Contact
Information
Giant Squid Audio Lab
is an audio business that has been founded by myself, Darren Nemeth.
In the past I have been employed
in various highly skilled technical fields. Among them
were Aerospace technology testing, concert venue equipment set
up, and technical surveying for the Saginaw County Road Commission. In 1994 I ran for Saginaw City Council
and presently have an appointed seat on a city committee.
A long time audio collector I noticed almost at the moment that I first logged
on to the Internet in late 1996 there was demand for high quality microphones
on several music related usenet newsgroups and audio collecting forums.
In late 1998, I was a new owner
of a Mini Disc recorder and needed a source for a high quality
stereo microphone at a competitive price.
Stereo MD recorders could be
readily purchased at almost any electronics store but the microphones were
almost nonexistent and are still scarce / not available in stores.
Begining in late 1996 up until
March of 2000 I had experimented with many, many different styles
of construction and design of miniature microphones that can handle
frequent usage and loud sonic situations.
During this period had I searched
through every electronics store and ordered from every parts
catalog that I could get my hands on to find the best high quality
and most durable components suitable for high fidelity miniature
microphone applications.
As a result I developed this process
of building my own brand of very durable, high quality microphones.
Only when satisfied with the results
and the high standards that I had set for Giant Squid mics I
opened this website.
Always looking for improvements
to Giant Squid Mics I am constantly seeking sources for new parts
and attempting to develop improved methods and design configurations
to make Giant Squid Microphones the best made and sounding on the
Net in their price range.
Some parts in a couple of Giant
Squid units were found in small, obscure industrial parts catalogs
and have to be special ordered from an overseas distributor.
These kind of high end parts give the edge of durability and quality
to Giant Squid products.
In its history Giant Squid Audio
Lab Microphones have been purchased by satisfied customers in
fields ranging from professional Radio Broadcast Reporters to dance
club Disc Jockeys, from professional stage musicians to missionaries,
and from DAT and Mini Disc audio collecting hobbyists to computer notebook
owners.
Giant Squid Audio Lab has also
provided microphone technical advise and design recommendations
to Sasquach (also known as Bigfoot) researchers who monitor a densely
forested section in the mountains of Tennessee.
