Legend Channel Episode 4 Now Available! Featuring Mr. Yasuo Kita, President of Studio Equipment Co., Ltd.

“Legend Channel”, a podcast program featuring interviews with legendary figures in the world of sound, has released its 4th episode.

This time, the guest is Mr. Yasuo Kita, President of Studio Equipment Co., Ltd.

Founded in 1986, Studio Equipment Co., Ltd. has earned a strong reputation among professionals in the industry for its wide-ranging work, including the design and construction of professional video and audio studios, system installation, manufacturing of studio equipment, and import and sales of audio devices. Mr. Kita himself has also supported the industry for many years, having launched his own business in 1977 specializing in the maintenance of imported professional audio equipment.

In this interview, we spoke in depth about noise control, an essential topic in acoustic construction, as well as Mr. Kita’s well-established views and insights cultivated through his extensive experience in the field. The episode also touches on his personal approach to maintaining good health, something he continues through his passion for off-road motorcycling.

We hope you enjoy this valuable conversation with Mr. Kita, who has long been a driving force in the audio industry.
