We are thrilled that Rob is joining Group One, said Kelly. With years of experience in the sales and support of broadcast audio consoles, Rob further strengthens our U.S.-based Calrec team with his strong technical background and deep market knowledge.

As we continue to build our presence in the U.S. market, Group One is a powerful ally - and the partnership just got even stronger with Robs addition to the team, said Dave Letson, vice president of sales, Calrec Audio.

He also put in nine years at Euphonix, serving first as product marketing manager and then international sales director, Pacific Rim.

Its a real pleasure to be representing Calrec Audio. Calrec desks are the gold standard for audio, and their reputation for outstanding sound quality, flexibility, and performance makes them an easy sell, Lewis said. Theres tremendous potential for Calrec in the U.S., and Im looking forward to working with the team to build a sales and support presence that reflects the high standards of both Group One and Calrec Audio.
