{"title":"Ada","description":"Audio Design Associates or 'ADA' or even 'Audio Design' was founded by Albert G. Langella and Peter T. McKean in 1977. The company was born from a TV\/radio\/repair-shop that Peter took over in the late 1960's called Hartsdale Radio \u0026amp; TV located in Westchester County, NY, a suburb north of Manhattan. Albert, who displayed natural talent at an early age when it came to electronics, worked for Peter repairing stuff while in high school and later as he studied for his Bachelors in Engineering at the Pratt Institute of Technology. By the mid-1970's, one of Peter's customer's was looking for a distributed audio system for his new home. Peter turned to Albert to build a custom system for this first client. Over the next few years, several more such customers came along forcing Langella to reconsider the \"one-off\" system designs he had provided to date. Coinciding with Albert's graduation from college, he and Peter incorporated ADA in 1977.","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/collections\/ada.gif?v=1777392464","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/collections\/ada.oembed","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
