Freddy Albrektsen, Founder and Head of R&D

Freddy was educated in the reality school of sound engineering.

That was in the days when if you didn’t understand how to fix a console, a reverb unit, a studio or a multi-track tape machine – then you shouldn’t really be mixing the song. When equipment broke down it tended to break down at the worst possible moment (one hour before the master tape had to be delivered) - and so it was usually the job of the mix engineer to fix it.

Freddy is just such a guy.

In 1979, he decided to build his very own multi-track studio – and the console to go in it. Two years later he expanded the facility until in 1990 he was running two studios, one of which housed a custom in-line console. This console was designed and built from scratch by himself. As a mix engineer he has worked with just about every Scandinavian artist of note over the years as well as providing technical support in just as many studios. And it was because of his studio-engineering prowess that the 716, mx10  and 726 models became a hit with other mix engineers.

Freddy has since gone on to design audio equipment for clients the world over. And yet he still says that he has only just begun.




Gary Brzezinski, Head of Product design

Gary comes from Northumberland, an independent principality that is full of norsemen, located between England and Scotland. In the course of his varied career he has designed recording studios, cinema facilities, industrial 3d graphics, animations, digital audio software and carried out research into underwater microphone arrays that measure acoustic intensity. He has also tracked, sound designed, directed, mixed and provided engineering support in over 25 countries around the globe.

After completing his engineering degrees at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton - he worked first as an acoustician in architectural and environmental acoustics, and then for Solid State Logic at their HQ in Oxford, UK. After six amazing years at SSL, he left to pursue an adventure in the world of cinema sound, and worked on films in Japan, UK, Brazil, S. Korea, and the US - but somehow ended up mountain biking, playing football and in studied contemplation on the beaches of Brazil. Whilst there, he worked for one of the most prestigious AV studio facility groups in the southern hemisphere, Estudios Mega Brasil.

He is now located in the wonderful city of Copenhagen, and has been for quite a while. He worked for the prestigious studio group Sun Studio International, has consulted on a number of independent studio builds in Scandinavia, and also provided technical support at SDI Media Inc., the worlds largest audio dubbing company.
In 2007, Gary became a partner of Danfield Audio. In that same year, he was also proud to be awarded a Diploma in Acoustics and Noise Engineering and thus became an Associate Member of the Institute of Acoustics.

Daniel: Technician. Daniel is a talented sound engineer who has a passion for analog electronics. And so he has ended up as Padawan learner at Danfield Audio, where he is being trained in the divine ways of Volta by Mr Albrektsen himself. He has recently just made a custom kick ass bass DI for live applications. He is also at Engineering College, so he must be learning something. More importantly, he provides extremely good dessert, for he has insider share dealings at the best patisserie in Copenhagen. Daniel is currently designing his first product for Danfield Audio, and it will be available commercially early next year.
