When two off-the-shelf in-ears didn't sound right for Van Halen, Jerry Harvey went back to his shop and built his own. That moment—under pressure, with no roadmap—is what launched a global revolution in sound.

You know, the industry is where it is because Alex Van Halen challenged me to build something better.
When Jerry Harvey was hired to mix in-ears for Van Halen, he showed up with the only two sets available at the time. That was it. No backups. No plan B. Just two pairs—and a whole lot of pressure.
Alex Van Halen tried them both. And hated them.
In that moment, Jerry had a choice:
Either solve the problem... or get fired.
So he went back to his body shop. Grabbed what parts he had. Started tinkering. Cutting. Fitting. Adapting. Adopting... Not because he wanted to reinvent anything, but because he had no other choice.
It wasn’t perfect.
It wasn’t pretty.
But it worked.
Better than anyone expected.
That was the moment it all changed.
That was the start of a revolution.
And Jerry Harvey never looked back.
