Void Acoustics has appointed Nathan Short as Head of Technical Services, North America, strengthening its technical support across the region to oversee technical guidance, system commissioning and partner training.
Having worked directly with Void as a technical consultant since 2016, Short brings 25 years of professional audio experience in sound system design, DSP programming, acoustic measurement, tuning and commissioning to the position.
Recently, at Avalon Hollywood, he handled DSP programming and alignment for a bespoke permanent Void Acoustics Incubus System, integrating specialist immersive audio processing. At the nearby Sidepiece Hollywood Block Party, he tuned and operated an eight-point distributed Void system alongside Royal Sound & Lighting, creating an immersive experience while managing acoustic energy in an urban environment.
He also commissioned the new Void Incubus System at Nova in San Diego. Designed by John Lyons Systems, the installation features Air Array, Hyperfold, Incubus Sub and Tri-Motion loudspeakers.
‘My journey with Void started 18 years ago, when a trip to England with my business partner, Matt Edgar, led us to bring the first Void systems to the US through AIS, now Pineapple Audio,’ he says. ‘For the past decade, I’ve worked directly with Void, commissioning and tuning systems around the world.
‘The part I love most is the tuning: taking a room full of loudspeakers and making it feel like one system. Joining full-time is the natural next step, and with the products we have coming, I’m excited to help shape what comes next for our customers, partners and the entire Void family.’
‘Nathan has been an important part of Void’s journey in North America for many years,’ says Void Acoustics MD, Sam Brandon. ‘He knows our products, understands the challenges our partners face and brings practical experience that’s incredibly valuable to the business.
‘As we continue to grow, it’s important that we’re investing in the people and expertise behind our products, not just the products themselves. Bringing Nathan into the team full-time builds on the work he’s already been doing and strengthens the support we can offer our partners and customers across North America. I’m pleased to have him take on this role.’
