‘Danley is poised to gain significant market growth in the coming years,’ says Mike Hedden, Danley Sound Labs President. ‘Without a doubt, Paul Giansante has the experience and the talent to take us to the top of the heap. He knows the loudspeaker market inside and out – from the manufacturer’s perspective, from the design engineer’s perspective, and from the application engineer’s perspective. What we see in Paul is the technical ability and the leadership skills to convey the creativity and practicality of Tom Danley’s innovative loudspeaker, subwoofer and amplifier designs to both the live and fixed-installation markets.’
Among his prior work, he has been a freelance audio systems engineer, providing engineering, design, installation and operating services to houses of worship, theatres and performing arts centres. He has also served as concert touring manager with Meyer Sound, where he increased the number of acts touring with the company’s gear. As Turbosound’s Product and General Manager, he handled product development, marketing and sales, and customer service and support.
A diversity of other experiences support Giansante’s qualifications: senior applications engineer for several loudspeaker distributors; chief audio system engineer at DisneyFest Asia; manager/engineer at Signal Perfection Limited; freelance touring/design engineer in Europe; and project manager at Maryland Sound Industries. A sample of the A-list acts he has worked with includes Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Dire Straits, Neil Young, and Whitney Houston.
‘Tom Danley is an acoustic genius,’ says Giansante. ‘By reconsidering the acoustical principles by which a loudspeaker or sub produces sound, his designs deliver untouchable performance at a realistic cost ratio. The basics for this company are in place – great product, right pricing, superb availability and an exceptionally talented staff. I plan to coordinate an accelerated and comprehensive sales management program that includes developing training and sales seminars to strengthen Danley brand awareness and grow sales.’
