TiMaxSpatial has appointed Gerry Marrone to the newly created role of Product Support Engineer.
Marrone, known to many in the industry as Gerry Brown, is an experienced sound engineer who has worked almost exclusively mixing immersive systems for live experiences, in both end-on formats and in-the-round performances for the past two years will provide training and support for new TiMax users and existing deployments from the company’s new central London offices and demonstration suite that are nearing completion in Tile Yard.
In his new post, Gerry will harness the customer-facing elements of the role to feedback user-experience to the product development team as well as to develop user training programmes and workshops supported by the production of new training material. He brings a rich vein of experience to the team, encompassing the training of technical users, artists and non-technical users, to help them understand how TiMax immersive audio can be implemented and how it will impact their set-up and workflow.
‘I’m really excited to be a part of the TiMax team, involved in developing new ways to showcase the TiMax range of products,’ Marrone says. ‘TiMax offers so much functionality and is a powerful tool so users will need to understand in an instant way what the products can deliver on any scale.
‘Artists and technicians don’t necessarily look at systems the same way so you need two different sets of vocabulary but I’m absolutely a hundred percent comfortable in this role, teaching new sound designers, teaching new technicians and new artists in what an immersive system can do and how they can deploy it.’
‘We’re very fortunate to have someone of Gerry’s experience and calibre joining the growing TiMax product support resource, to help forge new levels of product knowledge and adoption in a diverse and rapidly expanding immersive audio marketplace,’ says TiMaxSpatial Commercial Director, Dave Haydon.
