Hedback Designed Acoustics has built strategic alliances with like-minded professionals to provide service all the way through the design/build process, from structural engineering to the final fitting!
About founder Jeff Hedback:
Chief Designer Jeff Hedback is an acoustician, a professional musician, and a trained recording engineer. It is this blend of experiences and skills from both sides of the control room glass that anchors every HdA project.
Jeff graduated Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music (’87) majoring in Music Production and Engineering with a minor in bass performance.
Jeff spent seven years honing his acoustical design craft at industry leading Auralex Acoustics. It was as much as anything an acoustics master-class under the mentorship of world respected Acoustical Engineer, Jeff D Szymanski (PE). Hedback has provided interior acoustics and sound isolation solutions for literally thousands of recording studios, several hundred home theater spaces, and a similar number of worship spaces. During much of his tenure he was utilized not only as a technical consultant for Auralex customers, but also as a Regional Sales Manager, where he steered consistent double digit annual growth.
Jeff Hedback was awarded a US Patent for being the primary developer of the Auralex GRAMMA speaker isolation riser. This product is found worldwide under guitar amps, bass rigs and home theater subwoofers.
As a session and touring bass player, Jeff has credits on several national releases (Arista Records, CBS Records, Rounder/Philo Records). He has performed as a headliner, support act, and background chatter in all types of spaces; the largest stadiums, worship spaces, and smokiest clubs. To this day he continues to study, practice, gig and gets inspired by all things that are bass.
