Establishes the first handshake between an IEM pioneer (Future Sonics/Marty) and a hearing-health purist (Santucci). It roots the category’s origin in conservation, not volume—an alliance that legitimizes early IEM use and sets the ethical throughline we contrast later. Also timestamps the pre-Shure era as health-first, not hype.
