Meyer Sound has promoted Miguel Lourtie to the post of European Technical Services Manager.

In his new role, Lourtie will supervise the company’s technical support team in Europe and assume primary responsibility for sales support and design services in the region.

‘Customer support is paramount at Meyer Sound,’ says Meyer Sound Director of Technical Support Worldwide, John Monitto. ‘Our customers expect an extremely high level of technical expertise and customer service. With his outstanding technical skills, customer rapport, experience in the field, and fluency in several languages, Miguel is a great fit to lead our technical group in Europe.’

Lourtie joined Meyer Sound European technical services in 2007, and has played a role in supporting major Meyer Sound projects across the continent, including the Mantziusgården Culture Center, Montreux Jazz Festival and the Grimaldi Forum.

He also serves as a seminar instructor as part of Meyer Sound’s extensive education programme.

Prior to joining Meyer Sound, Lourtie founded Lourisom, an audio consulting and distribution business in Portugal and previously a Meyer Sound distributor.

‘To ensure a seamless show, high-quality audio tools and the person driving the system are equally crucial,’ he says. ‘The Meyer Sound tech support network has some of the best sound engineers in the industry, and I look forward to working even more closely with them to help our customers get the best out of their Meyer Sound equipment.’

Miguel Lourtie will continue to be based in Lisbon, Portugal.
