Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) has announced the return of Steve Badham, who has a long history in the pro audio industry and in particular with the company, to manage technical sales throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
“We are excited to welcome Steve back to the EAW family,” says TJ Smith, president EAW. “Steve’s experience, product knowledge and technical savvy make him a great addition back to our team. With Steve’s contributions and hard work, we look forward to continuing to grow the EAW brand in the EMEA territories.”
Badham’s association with EAW began about two decades ago where he held the position of European technical sales engineer, and over the years, he spearheaded several high-profile projects in the region, including the Barcelona Football Club’s Camp Nou Stadium and EAW’s first UK multiplex cinemas in Epsom and Bradford. In his new role, he will be instrumental in the sales process in providing technical expertise and consultation, and as a liaison, he will also directly advise customers on product features and configurations.
“I have always liked the engineering aspect of EAW and am excited to be back with such a forward-thinking company,” adds Badham. “I firmly agree with EAW’s core design philosophies such as focusing, symmetry of sources and spaced woofers for exemplary pattern control, and the broad product range gives me an enormous audio toolbox to work with. It’s fantastic to be working with this talented and passionate group of professionals once again.”
Badham has held previous positions in the pro audio and integration space throughout his career, including Alcons Audio, Clearvoice Systems GmbH and Community, and is also a member of the Institute of Acoustics (MIOA).
