Checkpoint Audio is a unique project, led by Eelco Grimm, comprising a book in Dutch and two cd's. These give both the professional sound engineer and the audiophile a set of tools to set-up and tune sound systems.
Eelco Grimm has been technical editor and chief editor of the well respected Dutch magazine ProAudio+Visie from 1991 to 2000. He further published in Hifi Video Test. Nowadays he runs his own recording facilities Fairytapes and is part-time professor at the Utrecht School of Arts, Faculty of Art Media & Technology, tutoring Music Technology.

In his journalistic period he collected unique and valuable knowledge on adjusting, testing and reviewing a wide range of audio equipment. It is this knowledge that he wanted to consolidate in writing so it can be passed on to the next generation of audio professionals and hobbyists. It took him four years to complete Checkpoint Audio, aided by audio specialists from all over the world. Checkpoint Audio comes with a set of two cd's comprising the most complete collection of test and sound tracks ever.
