Adam Rayner Biog

My name’s Adam Rayner and for the last decade and a bit, I have been reviewing mobile electronics products and installations all around the world, from Japan to ‘Vegas to Canvey Island, Essex. With a CV covering recording studios, rehearsal rooms and huge stadium-sized speaker systems for rock concerts, I was also production manager for Acoustic Energy loudspeakers. Our flagship was a bookshelf speaker that cost £700 a pair, back when that was a lot of money for small bookshelf speakers. (Still legendary and up there with the Wilson Watt.)

I moved to car audio as a natural progression. I worked with StreetWires, Altec Lansing, Cerwin-Vega and HiFonics, as well as Earthquake of San Francisco. I even repped for an accessories firm for a while, so I paid my dues getting worn shoes going around the shops for orders. So I know my stuff in the trade, I know my stuff with the kit.
I was given a chance to join my family’s profession (words in a row, for sale) by Car Stereo & Security magazine and was subsequently In Car Electronics editor of Max Power for four years. Seven years in the same job for Fast Car and now I’ve got my own show, thanks to the fabulous forum community built up here on the TA website by The Guru. I also review high end home cinema speaker systems and can be found on the web at Home Cinema Choice magazine’s reviews section, too.
