Where it all began
Jim Pavett opened Allusion Studios in 1983 out of his house. After getting an Electrical Engineering degree, he moved his business to a commercial facility. Within 5 years, he out-grew the old space and designed a 2800 sq foot facility. Jim's audiophile approach always makes him strive for new technology and the best sounding gear.

Why?
Jim decided to create a whole new approach to the pro audio store that began out of frustration by sales people failing to provide educated solutions. Usually, Jim already knew more about the products than the sales people. In addition, pro audio magazines have shootouts of products which result in an article. Did the writer make you want go out and buy the mic unheard? No. Did you notice there was a few minutes of dead time between comparisons and yet they noticed a .5db difference between products? Not likely possible. Have you ever read a bad review of a microphone? Of course not. How did any of that information help you? It didn't.

The Solution - The Ultimate Pro Audio Store
Jim utilized his engineering background to create for you, the consumer, a way to use shootouts and test samples to hear and experience the difference between the various microphones and equipment prior to purchasing. A strict scientific method approach was used. Even though all tests are never absolute, this is the closest thing to it. For instance, during the drum mic test, all the samples you are hearing are from the same exact performance on the same mic pres, at the same volume and same distance from the source. When you hear it back, there is no human performance error, or dead time between takes, etc. -- that is as absolute as it gets!
