A new division of L-Acoustics, L-Acoustics Creations brings the company’s technology to extraordinary sound spaces in private residential, cultural, and marine AV environments.
Fichte began his 15-year career in the AV industry when he was still a student, applying to work for custom installer, Audio Vision. He was offered the position and boarded a flight to Turkey the following day to assist on technology integration for one of the world’s largest superyachts. This experience cemented a vocation and led to his career progressing at Audio Vision where he became Store Manager of one of their Bang & Olufsen dealerships. He later held sales roles at London-based custom installers Olive Audio Visual and Inspired Dwellings, then, prior to joining L-Acoustics, Crestron.
At Crestron, Fichte began as Residential Business Development Manager, working with architects, interior designers, and property developers to deliver professional development and solution-based designs. For the past four years, he has acted as Regional Sales Manager, Residential, working with many of the company’s dealers in the residential Crestron Residential reseller network.

Although confinement and social distancing have impacted our dealings at this time, I welcome the opportunity to connect remotely during the coming weeks and lay the groundwork for doing business together in the future.’
