AUDIO INTERNATIONAL developed as a by-product of the audio engineering career of its founder, Warren C. Slaten.
As a studio recording engineer, he worked at Robert Swanson Productions, advertising, "Jingle studio where the work was developing and recording commercials for radio and television. After five years, he was offered a fifty per cent partnership and expanded the studios, Tempo Sound, with "state of the art" designs, including a second studio and a record mastering facility.
Later Slaten joined Mastertone Studios where he was chief studio engineer working on a wide variety of projects for the record industry and further advancing his knowledge of record mastering. When the owners retired, he purchased the studio business and maintained it for several years.
During the operation of Mastertone, he was approached to design and build recording studios for some of his customers and others that spawned Audio International. Many of the projects took him to Mexico, Columbia, Puerto Rico, Spain, France and West Africa, as well as nearby locations. His specialty was mixing consoles that he designed and built, at home, and then shipped to the final destination.
As the market shifted to mass produced equipment, from Asia, Audio International began designing and servicing commercial/industrial sound systems for schools, churches, temples, office buildings and factories. Bell Laboratories/Lucent Technologies became the largest client, for nearly twenty years, covering eight different facilities, without any bidding.
Today the company accepts the challenge of bringing affordable presentation technology to houses of worship and others. We design, install and maintain a wide variety of media systems for forward thinking clients.
