    Homage to ladies contributing to the audio industry...

    I would like to give a shoutout to the rarest of species in the audio biz, the lady engineers and other female professionals in the BIZ. Off the top of my head...

    I would like to single out Marguerite Kudelski of Nagra, Ines Adler of Voxativ, Mieko Durrenmatt of Heil AMT, Dr Veronique Adam of Goldmund and Debbie Wilson of Wilson Audio.

    Please feel free to highlight more of the fairer sex that make a meaningful and highly appreciated contribution to this
    industry we all care about.
