	Cliff Henricksen was born on 12 July, 1943 in Kew Gardens on Long Island NY, the son of Norwegian immigrant Birger (“Bill”) and Alice (nee Totland) Henricksen, and grew up in Elmont Long Island NY. His father’s early career was as first engineer on ocean-going ships for the Moore McCormack Company. He subsequently took a land-based day job as a mechanic and welder in order to participate more actively in home and family life. He also became an accomplished musician, playing accordion, drums and fiddle, and performing as a well-known square dance caller with a country music band called “The Ranch Boys”~~, as well as playing~~ drums at nightclub gigs and ~~with~~ his own “society orchestra” that played events in venues like New York City’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel. It was his father’s facility with all things mechanical, as well as his love of music and his fascination with the technology behind the music, which was the single most important influence in Cliff’s formative years.

In the course of that work he met and became friends with [[Bill Putnam]] and Allen Sides, both of whom became important inspirations for achieving a balance between audio aesthetics and engineering excellence. Putnam’s work on the UREI Time Align studio monitor loudspeaker, and Side’s work through his Ocean Way studio business (then operating out of a garage in Santa Monica CA) were fundamental and profound influences in showing Cliff how to listen diagnostically to the audio qualities of speakers, microphones and music electronics generally. The importance of “audio aesthetics first” has been a guiding principle in all of Cliff’s work since that time.
