Jay Easley has been appointed Solid State Logic Vice President of Live Consoles for the Americas.

Previously with Midas/Klark Teknik, Easley brings many years’ experience in global audio console launches to support SSL’s recently introduced Live console.

Working with the team in the Americas, Easley’s initial goal is to build industry awareness of the SSL Live console. He will work with Jason Kelly, SSL’s newly appointed Live Product Manager, to define future product enhancements tailored to the needs of specific clients. Using his knowledge of the performance market, he will also support dealers and mix engineers.

‘Jay’s extraordinary stature in the live sound industry brings a high level of credibility for SSL as we enter this exciting market segment,’ says SSL CEO, Piers Plaskitt,. ‘His surgical focus and successful experience in live sound applications makes him the ideal choice to lead the charge for the Live console in North and South America. We believe the addition of Jay on the SSL team will herald in a new era of technology leadership for the live sound market.’

Most recently, Easley served as Associate VP of Midas/Klark Teknik’s North American operations, where he developed and implemented sales and marketing strategies, new product introductions, and delivered presentations, seminars and training classes to clients and partners.

‘We have the opportunity to show customers SSL’s advanced console technology that exceeds industry expectations for what is now available for live sound,’ says Easley. ‘This is SSL and we expect the Live console will have the same leadership impact on the live sound industry as it has enjoyed with the music, broadcast, post and film markets for decades.’
