Flashpoint Academy, Chicago
"It's been a whirlwind of excitement, activity, and incredible educational opportunities for our inaugural class of students here at Flashpoint Academy.

I wanted to send genuine heartfelt thanks to you and all those at VK who helped us along the way in creating a world-class facility so that students can immerse themselves in the process of becoming bona fide professional audio practitioners. It's hard to downplay all the cool toys at their fingertips in technology-based education, but they are quickly realizing the difference between working at gear versus working with gear. That's only possible, by the way, if the gear itself doesn't get in the way. It has to work every time, and provide a path toward achieving an aural aesthetic that matches the intention of the artist. I don't have to tell you, but Barefoot, Chandler, Great River, Wunder, Helios, API, Avedis, Crane Song, etc. fit those requirements astonishingly well, and I wanted to say thank you for your assistance in the decision-making process.

My experience of working with VK was nothing short of first-rate. The ability to have candid dialogue was extremely important to me, and it was very helpful to cut right through sales rhetoric. It was extraordinarily comforting to know that I could pick-up the phone day or night and get honest answers in a timely fashion. As you can see from the pic, VK products hold a premium position in our music control room.

So thanks again, and I'll be in touch as we forge ahead to build out the facility."
