Adam Robinson is Vice President of Operations for Ron Paley Broadcast and DJB Radio Software. Based in Toronto, Adam has recently made the transition to “the other side of the business” where he works with numerous radio clients to facilitate Wheatstone and DJB Software installations across Canada. A 25 year veteran of the radio business, Adam got his start in front of the mic as a “newsie” at various stations in and around Toronto. While on the air full time, Adam also honed his craft behind the scenes and in 2006 hung up the mic in order to focus on the expansion of Evanov Radio from three to 19 radio stations in a little more than a decade.

With 10 ground-up station builds and numerous refurbishments of studios and transmitter sites from Winnipeg to Halifax under his belt, Adam now uses his wealth of experience to find creative and cost-effective solutions for all broadcasters. Adam is a member of the CCBE Executive and is currently in charge of papers and panels for the annual conference north of Toronto.

A self professed audio geek, Adam spends his “free” time tweaking processing, reading up on advances in audio codec technology and marrying new sounds with his suite of vintage gear. Fun fact – even bad MP3’s sound OK when run through a CBS Audimax!

Bryan Martin is a Grammy and Juno Award winner, and researcher in spatial and 3D audio.

Throughout his career he spent far too much time in lightless studios producing and recording anything that made a noise, worked with some interesting artists—David Byrne, Max Roach, Run DMC, Richard Hell, the Pretenders, wrote a lot of music and traveled the world—all the while cultivating bad habits and an unhealthy complexion.

He has lectured at McGill, Concordia and other educational institutions, presented at various Audio Engineering Society conventions and conferences, and keeps designing guitar amplifiers (How many amplifiers—or guitars—does a person need? One more.)
