Ep.4 - Nimrod Nimmons

For Episode 4 of The Final EQ, we sit down with Matt Nimmons, Managing Director of CEDIA, to talk AV, careers, and life in and out of the industry. Plenty of stories, opinions, and a bit of banter along the way.🎧 Available now on all platforms.

In this episode of The Final EQ, we’re talking about life as young dads, trying to juggle work, relationships, and raising kids without completely losing the plot.We get into the realities no one prepares you for: the sleepless nights, the shifting priorities, and how becoming a dad changes you in ways you never saw coming. There’s a fair bit of honesty, plenty of laughs, and a few confessions about the mistakes we’ve made (and still make).If you’re a dad, about to be one, or just want to know what really goes on behind the Instagram highlights, this one’s for you.

This week, we’re joined by fellow Essex lad and founder of HDANYWHERE, Chris Pinder.We get into the reality of running a business in the AV world, the wins, the stress, and the stuff you won’t read in a press release. There’s talk of balancing work, life and family (badly), launching new products, and a few stories from Chris’s younger days that probably shouldn’t be recorded... but are.It’s real, honest, and full of the usual nonsense, just how we like it.

In this episode, it’s just the two of us — Simon and Charlie — sitting down to talk about how we came to do what we do.We’ve been friends for years, worked across the AV industry, and now we’re proud to represent Steinway Lyngdorf in the UK, working closely with the dealer network.This is our story — how we met, how our careers took shape, and why we decided to join forces. No scripts, no big pitch — just a real conversation about work, friendship, and finding our place in the world of high-end audio.
