Pro Audio Service

Pro Audio Service provides repair service on all recording studio, live sound, lighting and musical instrument gear.

Specializing in Ampex, MCI, Studer, Sony, Otari, Fostex, Tascam and Revox tape recorders, I also work on all mixing consoles, Digital and Analog.

Rack gear including Mic Pre's, EQ's, Compressors, Limiters, Power amps and FX's. We also restore and repair Guitar amps, Bass amps and keyboards.

At this time I do not do any warranty repairs but Pro Audio Service is listed as a preferred independent service center for API and Orange.

I also work on old stereo equipment from the 60's through the 80's including Pioneer, Kenwood, Sherwood, Sansui, Carver, Phase Linear and many more.

Having been a professional bass guitar musician for many years, my experience in fixing bass guitar amplifiers and cabinets is extensive. Ampeg, GK, Eden, Peavey, Ashdown, Hartke, Sunn, Markbass and Acoustic to name a few are my specialty.

My client list is very extensive and includes live sound companies (Fette Productions, Windy Shores, Wood Sound and Lighting, Gemini Productions, AVI, Festival Sound, Allied Audio) and hundreds of recording studio's (Paisley Park, The Pearl, Fuzzy Slippers, The Hide Away) Radio - TV stations (WCCO, KSTP) churches (Celebration, St Marks) many local schools and universities (Edina HS, Hopkins HS, University of Minnesota, Carlton College, Gustavus University, Northwestern College) and all of the major music schools in Minneapolis/St Paul area (IPR, McNally Smith, HCTC, MCTC).
