A short history of The Sound Professionals and its owners....

The Sound Professionals, Inc., based in the southern part of New Jersey, began its existence in October 1979. It is co-owned by Bonnie and Chris Carfagno.

In 1997, a new segment of the business was created, with the goal of providing hard-to-find items for MD and DAT enthusiasts.

Update: After spending two years as an elementary school teacher, Bonnie has decided to come back and give Chris a much needed hand! She now heads up all office operations....

Chris spent many years as a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer for Lockheed Martin (formerly RCA, formerly GE Aerospace, formerly Martin Marietta), one of the largest Aerospace corporations in the world. He was involved in the manufacture of high powered communications satellites for worldwide customers at an ISO 9001 certified facility in Newtown, PA and East Windsor NJ, as well the manufacture of the Aegis advanced radar system for the US Navy in Bridgeport, NJ. He has also held certifications for the assembly and inspection of complex electronic assemblies to NASA and DOD specifications. Because of the steady growth of their business, Chris left Lockheed Martin in 1998 so that he could devote more of his energies to The Sound Professionals.

Chris also has a long musical background. He began studying the trumpet and drums at age 10 and continues to play in a nonprofessional capacity today, 34 years later. He has made hundreds of recordings over the years using numerous types of microphones and recording equipment, and has a small recording studio in his home that he shares with his wife and three children.

His interests in quality assurance, electronics technology and music all contributed to the various designs and high quality products that The Sound Professionals now offer.

On April 4th, 2005, The Sound Professionals moved to their new, larger location in Hainesport, NJ, to further broaden their range of products and services offered to their customers.

Chris, Bonnie and their staff are dedicated to providing the amateur and professional audio industry with the highest level of customer service, utmost quality of products and best value on the market. Thank you for considering The Sound Professionals !
