Rocky Mountain Audio Fest - Dedicated to Sound

"JON WHITLEDGE has put together a Mobile Audio Concert Hall that surpasses any such car- or van-housed sonic enclave I've experienced previously. The interior architecture of Jon's design is gorgeous. His sound is unimaginably ferocious, detailed, and engaging. I suspect it takes a sort of genius of commitment to such work -- or an absolute nut case obsessively devoted to mobile music fidelity -- to craft such a peripatetic audiophile carnival. With Jon Whitledge's art it makes no difference whatsoever, since once you step inside his hyper-emotional world (with its daring musical insulation from earth's madness) you, too, become an audio nut happily removed from anything that does not romp and sing or rock and roll".-- Jim Merod / Writer & Reviewer / Positive Feedback & Enjoy The Music

"... absolutely phenomenal - both in terms of the result, and also the fantastic amount of work he has put into it. His "Magic Bus" audio van is far and away the highest-performance audio system I have ever heard on wheels, but more importantly, it rivals the best home systems in many ways".-- Steve McCormack, Designer

"It is always a pleasure when you discover someone focused on following his or her passion. As a musician & producer, I have learned to gravitate towards people like this, for there is where you find the single-mindedness necessary to create the very special things in life.

My friend Jon Whitledge loves musical performance. He has devoted himself to creating the ultimate automobile audio system. Armed with his extensive knowledge, ingenuity and attention to detail, along with the dedication of countless hours, he has produced a mobile listening environment that rivals the experience of being present when the music was created.

In these days of minimization, compression and dithering, it is a pleasure to come across someone interested in bringing out all the fullness and nuances of musical performance. On his system, my own recordings sounded as I remembered them in the studio".-- Chuck Perrin

Jon regularly attends live musical performances in the San Diego area and came up with the notion of having musicians autograph the subwoofer. Jon comments, "As a tribute to those musicians who bring enrichment into our lives, I'm honored to have acquired numerous autographs of famous musicians on my subwoofer, and I look forward to acquiring many more." Musicians who have autographed the subwoofer include Noel Jewkes, Gilbert Castellanos, Peter Sprague, Tripp Sprague, Duncan Moore, John Opferkuch, Chuck Perrin, Gunnar Biggs, Brian Levy, Lisa Hightower, Ursula Knudson, Fabrice Martinez, Douglas Smolens, Mike Penny, Aaron Seeman, Chill Boy, Herbert Hamilton Price IV, Aeron McLendon, Steve Cotter, and many more to come.

Jon Whitlege will be exhibiting his Mercedes-built Dodge Sprinter SHC 3500 cargo van which houses this magnificent audio system each day of the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, which runs from Friday, October 12th through Sunday October 14th. Jon extends his invitation to all show visitors. "I enjoy sharing my system with individuals who love music, and I invite those who are interested in hearing my system to bring their favorite CDs for a personal listening session." Jon concluded, "It's a real pleasure to have been invited to share my passion for audio and music with the other exhibitors and attendees of the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, where we will all get to enjoy the finest audio equipment in the world."
