Linear Acoustic makes strategic changes

Lancaster, Pennsylvania — Linear Acoustic, a specialist in television audio control from production to transmission, has moved its headquarters to a larger and better appointed facility a few miles north of its former location in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The company also added two new field application engineers for the East Coast of the United States and for Latin America.

Linear Acoustic has posted steadily increasing revenues over the last few years. In September 2011, the Central Pennsylvania Business Journal honoured Linear Acoustic as one of the "Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies”.

"It's great to be recognized for our growth, especially as we come up on our 10-year anniversary," said Tim Carroll, president and founder of Linear Acoustic. "Our people are exceptional and I'm proud to work with them."

To help address the burgeoning global market for audio control products as television broadcasters worldwide make the transition to digital transmission, Linear Acoustic has added two field application engineers to its staff. Based near the new headquarters, Ken Tankel will provide management and support to the East Coast of the U.S. and Canada. Gilbert Felix, based out of Los Angeles, has the same responsibilities for the Latin American territories.

Tankel brings a wealth of hands-on and management experience to Linear Acoustic customers, integrators, and dealers. He was most recently with WCAU-TV, an NBC O&O in Philadelphia, while also providing consulting, design, integration, and project management services to broadcast and other companies as the owner of Future Media Design, LLC.

Born in Brazil, Felix speaks Portuguese and Spanish fluently and, after significantly growing sales in Latin America for Los Angeles-based broadcast solutions manufacturer DNF Controls, was promoted to the director of international sales. He started with DNF Controls in technical support seven years previously.
