Where It All Began
As a professional recording & electrical engineer, producer, educator and "gear junkie," Jim Pavett had countless encounters with unhelpful salespeople throughout his recording career. Unable to find answers to his tough questions, he grew frustrated from typically knowing more about the products than they did. And turning to pro audio magazines for help only led to product shootouts and reviews that almost never expose important shortcomings. Jim took notice of this knowledge gap between seller and buyer, and decided to do something about it.
The Solution: The Ultimate Pro Audio Store
Jim Pavett founded Pure Wave Audio in 2004, derived from his experience and expertise along with a belief in absolute product knowledge. At Pure Wave Audio, you will feel confident that you are making appropriate, well informed, quality purchases from a real professional.
