3DME in-ear monitoring and hearing protection system manufacturer ASI Audio has appointed Scott Shapiro to the position of President. Shapiro comes from Think-a-Move Ltd, ASI’s co-founding company and a leading developer of advanced hands-free control and communications technologies and Automatic Speech Recognition solutions.
In parallel with Shapiro’s appointment, ASI has secured a new round of funding that will help enable the company’s ongoing rollout of its second-generation 3DME Gen2 Active Ambient Monitoring System and help fuel new product development, inventory fulfilment and international expansion.
‘As ASI Audio grows and matures, we saw that additional dedicated leadership was needed to nurture the company to its full potential,’ says ASI Audio x Sensaphonics Chairman, Dr Michael Santucci. ‘We are delighted that Scott has agreed to join the ASI Audio team. Given his background, experience and his knowledge of our product on many levels, there’s no one more perfectly suited to continue the evolution of ASI Audio.’
In his new position, Shapiro will oversee and manage all facets of ASI’s business and work with the company’s executive and marketing teams on long-term growth. With more than 20 years’ experience in strategic management, product and business development, and marketing for technology-based industries including speech, wireless telecom and pro audio, he also has a lifelong passion for music and has worked as an international performance DJ and producer. He has also consulted for several companies in the industry, including Pioneer DJ, Melodics and Akai Professional.
‘One of the key reasons I joined ASI was the great potential I see as end-users embrace our 3DME system, which brings an in-ear monitoring solution that takes hearing protection and usability to the next level on stage,’ Shapiro says. ‘By using our patented Active Ambient technology, we are able to offer musicians the ability to hear more on stage without increasing the potential hazards to their ears. So, we’re protecting a player’s hearing while allowing in the usable audio that they need to perform better. I look forward to expanding our product solutions and meeting the new challenges and demands from our music community.’
