Ian Kuhn got his start in the music industry in the late 1980s as monitor engineer at the popular Chicago venue named Metro, cutting his teeth mixing hundreds of bands including Nirvana and Prince, Smashing Pumpkins and the Beastie Boys before being hired as monitor engineer by Dave Matthews Band in 1995, where he has been ever since.

Ian has played an integral role in the audio industry as an early adopter of digital sound consoles and in-ear monitoring. He has also acted as a consultant to the major equipment manufacturers during the development of their products.   Ian’s expansive touring experience has led him to develop methods of lessening the aggravations that some musicians find with in-ear monitoring from the sense of isolation to methods for better “feeling” the monitor mix. Ian is also an expert in wireless technologies and RF coordination and holds the highest class of amateur radio license available.  Ian’s unique, extensive and awarded experience in monitor engineering makes him a perfect fit on our team to help our clients reach their goals.
