Mike Castoro

Owner and creator of Wunder Audio in Austin, Texas. He started Stardog Studios as a modest, 4-track cassette facility, and within a decade grew it to a 24-track analog museum for vintage gear rife with Pultecs, Fairchilds, Neve, Neumanns and at least a half dozen Mellotrons — the tape-based keyboard popularized by The Beatles and the Moody Blues. After six years of running a successful studio, he branched out and became a vintage gear broker when he started a company called Misty Hill Audio. In the late 1990s, he started manufacturing his own line of pro audio equipment under the Wunder Audio banner.
