Milestones: Heil Sound Sold to Employees

Bob Heil, K9EID, and his wife, Sarah, have sold the company they founded, Heil Sound, to two longtime employees, Ash Levitt and Steve Warford. Levitt was already serving as the company's Chief Executive Officer and Warford was Director of Operations. 

Best-known to amateurs for manufacturing high-quality microphones, Heil Sound also serves the performance music industry with a variety of microphones and other gear. An announcement from the company says that Sarah Heil is retiring but that Bob will remain on board as CEO Emeritus and will continue doing product design and public outreach in the ham radio sector. The only change evident so far is that the company's line of ham radio microphones now has its own distinct website, <heilhamradio.com>.
