Cary Audio
ameuba10:
Hey, do any of you local guys know much about Cary Audio, ironically located in Apex? Im finishing up my degree and I am looking for an electronics based internship. Since I love home and mobile audio, I figure why not start looking for internships in that area. Does anyone local here work there or know of anyone that does that I may get in contact with? Or does anyone else know of another business that I could look into?

Adam,
AudioAdvice has a home theater installation part of the business, as well as in-house audio technician. Might be something there for intern.
I know someone who worked at Cary, you'll meet him if you come to our next listening party. Something in the next 5-6 weeks. Growth wise, they are past prime, imo, but might be a good learning experience for intern.
Temp agencies are sometimes a good place to get a foot into a technology position. Your college should have job advisors for non audio internships, I'm sure you already know about that. There is a lot of tech work in the Triangle and "down east." Aerotech is one of the biggest contract joints in town, for after you graduate, but a real job is usually more fun than a contract.

Given a lot of the larger mfg is overseas, it might be worthwhile getting in with a large company that mfgs overseas... You'll get good experience learning about the supply chain, and general development practices. You could possibly augment that by offering up weekend/night-time internship with someone like Selah. Not sure if he could use the extra hand, or would be in a position to pay... Might be able to work out reduced pricing in lieu of pay. Gould have to talk to Rick.
Back to the original Q... Someplace like a Lenovo could provide some solid mfg/design experience.
Just a suggestion.

Agree that Cary is on the down slope now (not speeding up, like in skiing though!). Why? I built a preamp via their AES division. Now that's gone when I tried to look into their website. Things have been consolidated back into Cary.....
