Allen & Heath USA is thrilled to announce the appointment of renowned mixing engineer and experienced touring professional Jake Hartsfield as their new Live Sound and Touring Manager. Hartsfield, known for his work with artists such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Ben Rector, and Vulfpeck, brings a wealth of expertise and a passion for audio that will significantly strengthen Allen & Heath’s commitment to live sound users.

Hartsfield’s predecessor in the role, Mike Bangs, has been promoted to Senior Manager of Live Sound and Touring – a new position with focus on high level market development for touring customers and oversight of Allen & Heath training curricula.

In their new roles, Hartsfield and Bangs will both be instrumental in the expansion and delivery of Allen & Heath University, the company’s comprehensive in-person and online training program. Drawing on his extensive experience as a Front of House engineer and Tour Manager, Hartsfield will lead sessions across the United States, providing users with in-depth knowledge and practical skills to effectively operate Allen & Heath’s flagship dLive and versatile Avantis series digital mixing consoles.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Jake to the Allen & Heath USA team,” said Tom Der, Director of Market Development at Allen & Heath USA. “His hands-on experience in both studio mixing and the demanding world of live touring makes him the perfect person to connect with our user base and provide the high-level support and training they expect from Allen & Heath.”

“Everyone on this team is very proud of Mike Bangs and all he has contributed to the development of Allen & Heath in the touring world,” said Rob Impala, VP of Pro Audio for American Music and Sound. “This is a very well deserved promotion, and we look forward to seeing how much more he can grow in this expanded role.”

Furthermore, Hartsfield and Bangs will continue to offer dedicated support to users on major tours utilizing Allen & Heath consoles. Their commitments to providing the best possible sounding mix for their own live sound clients align perfectly with Allen & Heath’s dedication to user success.

“I am happy to be joining this great team at Allen & Heath USA,” said Hartsfield. “I’ve been touring with dLive for years and absolutely love the system, so I’m excited to support engineers across the country and contribute to the continued growth and innovation of such an incredible company.”

“It has been an honor and a thrill to be a part of a team that has fostered so much growth for an iconic brand,” said Bangs. “I am eternally grateful for the faith and partnership from our team and extended family of dealers and engineers. The talent on both sides of the Ampersand is second to none, and I am so excited to watch us all grow while we continue to develop the world’s most compelling mixers.”
