Aphex has announced the appointment of pro audio veteran Jim Bailey to the position of Product Manager.
In his new position, Bailey will oversee the development of Aphex’s core line of professional audio and broadcast products, as well as the company’s expansion into other markets.
Bailey comes to Aphex after several years as Product Manager for Avid’s M-Audio division.
Prior to working with Avid, he was Product Development Manager at Tascam, where he oversaw the expansion of the company’s professional audio and recording lines.
He is a professional recording veteran and former owner of a premier Beverly Hills-based recording studio.
“I’ve known Jim for many years and had the pleasure of working with him at Tascam, and simply put, there’s no better person for this position,” said Rick McClendon, Aphex General Manager. “Jim is an innovator, visionary and a big-picture thinker. He’s the ideal person to oversee Aphex’s future product development.”
“Jim was our first choice to head up product development, and we’re excited to welcome him on board,” said David Wiener, President and Chief Executive Officer of DWV Entertainment, parent company of Aphex.
“There are few brands in our industry more legendary than Aphex, and it’s an honor and a privilege to join a company with such a great history,” said Jim Bailey. “We’ve got some great plans ahead, and I’m looking forward to being involved in taking Aphex forward into the 21st century.”
