RK Sound Personnel.
Jon Raper MinstSCE
Jon was trained in the telecommunications industry and installed one of the country's first digital telephone transmission links as well as video links between defence establishments. He used his technical knowledge to service the recording studio business as the equipment began to get smaller and the number of studios increased.
In 1982 he was a founder of Raper & Wayman Ltd, a company which supplied and installed all levels of professional audio equipment. As technical director of that business his responsibilities were many and varied from cable design to broadcast studio installation.
1986 saw a new interest awaken in the design and installation of sound reinforcement systems. From boardrooms to theatres, the range of installations steadily expanded.
In 2002 Jon and Peter formed R K Sound Engineering to focus on the engineering aspects of sound system design & installation.
Jon is a Council Member of the Institute of Sound and Communications Engineers and has given technical seminars for the ISCE as well as master class seminars at PLASA, the industry exhibition. Jon has tackled some interesting projects abroad as well as in the UK.
Installation Technicians
In nearly all cases, Jon is personally involved in each installation supplemented by a hardcore of 3-4 self-employed technicians with whom we are pleased to maintain a long term relationship.
