L-Acoustics has announced the formal appointment of Scott Sugden to the newly-created post of Head of US Touring Support.
The announcement comes from L-Acoustics Head of Touring Support Florent Bernard, to whom Sugden reports.
Over the past two years, Sugden had been contributing to the company’s U.S. success as an independent contractor. Now officially a full-time staff member, Sugden will continue to be based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Prior to joining L-Acoustics, Sugden spent time as a systems engineer for Clearwing Productions, Masque Sound and PRG Audio, as well as on touring off-Broadway productions of The Producers, Spamalot and 700 Sundays.
“Scott is an outstanding ambassador for L-Acoustics to the front lines of the touring world and we’re really glad to recognize him as an official part of our team,” says Bernard. “He has a tremendous amount of experience with our products on all kinds of touring productions, but what makes him truly special is his genuine friendliness and passion to share his knowledge with others.”
Sugden’s duties now include leading the company’s efforts in the areas of product and sound design support, technical training, system design, operation processes, and both training and documentation development for the entire range of L-Acoustics products relevant to the touring sound market.
He will also support, on an “as needed” basis, the installation sound market in providing system design reports, SOUNDVISION modeling, and client interfacing.
