In today's tech-driven economy, more and more entrepreneurs, contractors, and full-time employees are able to work outside of a traditional office setting. Yet for some, having a designated workspace with some of the amenities available in a large office building remains a valuable asset.

They reached out to Matt Grossman of Hollywood Sound Systems, who designed an upgrade that included Powersoft's Ottocanali 8k4 DSP+D amplifier.
