Foreword

I am pleased to present the Model 81 Stereo Analog Audio Distribution Amplifier.
As president of Studio Technologies, I take a very personal approach when
designing products. Getting older (43 as of this writing) has increased my
appreciation of the more subtle things in lifebe they a part of nature or the
nuances contained in a well-designed piece of electronic equipment. Do the
technical and operational aspects of a product work together to feel right? A
Studio Technologies design is ready to go only when I am completely satisfied.

Many fine people worked toward making the Model 81 happen. Mitch Budniak
(ace consulting engineer) designed many of the circuits. Jim Cunningham con­tributed to the analog design. Carrie Loving provided engineering support. Al
Lux designed the printed circuit board. Fred Roeck performed the mechanical
design. Joe Urbanczyk coordinated the safety testing and agency approvals.

Please contact me with your questions, comments, and suggestions. I can be
reached by voice at [phone], fax at [phone], or via the Internet @
www.studio-tech.com.

Sincerely,

Gordon K. Kapes
President
