About Audible Images
Ed is an “audiophile” (definition)…what this means is that he is driven by a passion to create the most “life like” sound possible. With an ultimate goal to give people the opportunity to experience a believable three dimensional image before them. Thus the name “Audible Images”.
He grew up in a family of Hobby and professional musicians. Ed never took up an instrument, but due to his exposure to live instruments he became acutely aware of how stereos did not sound like the “real” thing…this is how his passion began.
As a child, Ed started playing with clock radios and car stereos, this led him to attain a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Central Florida. His Electrical Engineering Career limited his passion for sound to a hobby. After working at Cape Canaveral, he then moved to California(Silicon Valley) to work in the development of machines that create computer chips. He designed power distribution and control systems for equipment. Eventually he took a position in Santa Cruz, Ca(close to some of the best surf in the world) as a division manager that designed industrial computers w/ custom LCD displays. During this time as an Engineer his passion for audio remained constant. He worked at a high end audio store on Sundays just for fun.then he started writing Audio and video equipment reviews for an online magazine called the Audio Revolution(now called ).
Eventually Ed decided to align his work with his passion in a new position designing home entertainment and Automation systems. With his close involvement with the industry and his wife Erikas growing Photographic Art business, Ed was inspired to create products that would merge extremely satisfying sound and picture quality, amazing convenience and elegant design. Thus, Elegant Entertainment Solutions were born.

Coincidentally, while Miguel's family was on a photo shoot with Erika Masterson, Miguel had the opportunity to discuss his Electronics business with Erika, and soon afterward, a friendship and working alliance was formed between Miguel and Ed Masterson, Erika's husband. The rest is history. (pardon the cliche´ :)
Ed and Erika set out with a goal to have a business that would allow them to apply their passions equally by creating amazing high performance entertainment systems that not only blended into the home but could make an artistic statement.
Erika is an award winning photographic artist that is known not only for beautiful photographic images, but also for her ability to creatively display her art. Combining Eds technical skills and Erika's Art and design skills, has inspired them to create some truly “original” products That they hope will revolutionize the Audio/video industry.
When you get the opportunity to tour the Studio and Showroom on Pineapple Avenue in Melbourne, and specifically the unique photographic art display of Erika's work in the "Family Room Theater", we hope you will find it inspiring and warm.
