EONA ADRaudio was started by General Manager Franci Pavlin and Chief Engineer Ales
Dravinec in 2004.

At the 125th AES Convention in San Francisco in 2008, Dravinec joined veteran
loudspeaker designers Charlie Hughes (formerly of Altec Lansing and Peavey
Electronics), Dave Gunness (formerly of Eastern Acoustic Works and Electrovoice),
Pete Soper (of Meyer Sound Laboratories), Ralph Heinz (of Renkus-Heinz) and Tom
Danley (has designed for Servodrive, Yorkville Sound, Danley Sound Labs) in a panel
discussion, moderated by industry veteran Tom Young, to share thoughts about the
art of loudspeaker design in the application of live sound reinforcement.[1][2] Not
certain he would be able to appear at a follow-on seminar in New York City in
October 2009, Dravinec declined to add his name to the pre-event announcement.
Nonetheless, he appeared as a last minute panelist and rejoined Young, Gunness and
Hughes as well as speaker designer Doug Jones, representing Danley Sound Labs.[3]

Jamie Taylor, Managing Director of Australian Event Productions, signed on as the

Asia-Pacific distributor in 2008. During the ENTECH trade show in Sydney that year,
Pavlin, Dravinec and Prescott came to exhibit the product line.[4] Of the M1225
monitor wedge, Taylor said it "is very loud, yet sounds very well rounded, and I
can pick it up without breaking a sweat! I used these exact wedges on a national
level touring band recently, and they nearly tried putting them in their van at the
load out!"[5]
