“I have had the honor and privilege to work with Don at Revolabs, Raytheon and Bose. He is the one person I have always relied on to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible. He has a vast knowledge of every type of mechanical, electronic, acoustic and component level device used in the design, installation, use and service of audiovisual systems. He is an extremely valuable asset to every company he works with.” July 1, 2009

“Mr. Goguen is a rare breed of individual who can comprehensively view a technology initiative from multiple important perspectives: return on investment, ease-of-use, quality of design, supportability, reliability, and customer perception.  In 30 years, I have rarely found someone who brings together such a synergistic set of experiences.  On many occasions, I’ve watched Mr. Goguen use this powerful skillset to effectively and efficiently bring a technology initiative to a successful conclusion.  His colleagues consider him a professional and caring mentor, and he is a valued asset to any project.”

John Porter  (Former Manager)

Don’s management style was always fair and respected by his engineering team.

Don with his vast knowledge of the industry would be would be a valuable asset to any team.”

“As an Audio Visual Technician, I reported directly to Donald. Don ran the engineering group with a open door policy and was always available when design questions came up on projects. I highly recommend Don as a first-class manager and design engineer.”

“As a musician and composer, I prefer to record my music in my home studio. About a year and a half ago I needed to upgrade my recording equipment and sought out advice for my next purchase. Don Goguen was extremely helpful in presenting to me the pros and cons of various types of recording formats (analog tape, digital tape, hard disc computer based, digital workstation). He helped clarify in my mind which features were most important for my purposes (ease of use, flexibility of the gear, portability, price) and enabled me to make an informed decision. There are many options available on the market today and the process of deciding can be daunting. Don simplified the decision process considerably by clarifying the strengths and weaknesses of various products.

I am very grateful to Don for helping to guide me through this uncharted territory, making the decision process ultimately fun and very rewarding. Don is very clear, methodical, competent and informative. He is also very calm, patient and easy to work with. I would eagerly recommend him for any work that requires understanding of technical equipment or teaching skills.”

I have known Donald Goguen professionally for the past 6 years. I have found Donald to be honest and straightforward in his approach to his work and business and he has demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and dependability. We have used his services for numerous functions and events involving sound engineering. Recently we used his expertise for a A/V system installation in our new 200+-seat auditorium on our main campus. Although our budget was small, he designed a great system that more than serves our needs. His technical skills always amaze me. Don works very well under pressure and has always met our needs and timeline.

“The folks at the Lancaster Coffeehouse had worked with Don Goguen on and off for many years. We always knew that we could depend on him to present our performers in the best possible light. He was very dependable if we needed an extra hand with the coffeehouse and specials events that we put on. He worked with us on the 350th Celebration for the Town of Lancaster. The coffeehouse provided the music for the day and Don did an incredible job with sound. Great guy to work with and to know.”

Denise Hurley (Promoter) Wachusett Music (Previously the Lancaster Coffeehouse)

 

“I always refer to Don Goguen as my “SOUND GOD”, because he is exactly that. I thought, he must be an angel sent from heaven above… Don’s sound engineering was absolutely perfect. The Artists that featured at my shows were always HIGHLY impressed with their sound quality. Don was always reliable and had everything set up well in advance of a show. He was ready and willing to take on ANY unusual type of request of an Artist and a pleasure to work with.

As a single mom of two, presenting folk music shows became another child … out of my passion to keep culture alive and to give fans a taste of the talent they may not ever know without my hosting them.  Don has that same passion for sound quality and his love for music. Together we made it work successfully. Unfortunately, in many cases I dished out more money than I took in, but Don was always understanding of my situation. He is a “SOUND GOD” in my eyes!”
