DirectOut expands Sales Support

DirectOut Technologies has expanded its Sales Support team with the appointment of Benno Sonder as of 1 June 2019.

Sonder will serve as Sales Support Engineer for the German pro audio and broadcast equipment manufacturer, taking on technical support of DirectOut clients. He brings 25 years of experience in television broadcasting to the position, with specialist knowledge of intercom technologies and audio editing. Additionally, his skill profile includes work as a Support & Application Engineer at Broadman/Optocore, specialising in digital multichannel audio solutions.

Alongside customer support and trainings, Sonder will assist the DirectOut Sales Team and the company’s distributors in designing new project concepts.
