Welcome to Gabriel Sound, the nation's leading speaker-recone center, where we've been designing, building, renting, and repairing high-quality sound systems since 1968. Thank you for visiting our site.

 

Gabriel Sound has left an indelible mark on both the live and home audio industries. Our story began in the mid-1960s when Erik Wayne, a member of the band "Gabriel," became the go-to technician, repairing sound systems at every venue the band performed in. By the late '60s, Erik owned the second-largest McIntosh rig in the world, just behind the Grateful Dead’s setup. Since then, our expertise has reached Broadway theaters, national tours, recording studios, and countless other venues, providing installation, maintenance, and repair services.

​

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Todd Whitford, Gabriel's master reconer, in the spring of 2024. Todd was an exceptional craftsman and a brilliant engineer, and he will be greatly missed.

Erik is currently facing health challenges and would greatly appreciate your kind words. If you'd like to send a message, please text Leslie or contact us through this website, and we'll ensure your message reaches him. If you have any memorable or funny stories with Erik, feel free to share—laughter is always a welcome comfort.

 

AT THIS TIME WE ARE PAUSING ORDERS AND SPEAKER INTAKE AS WE MAKE SURE ERIK IS GETTING THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE.
