"During my 30 years in the industry, I have been surrounded by lots of demo gear, but when it came time to lay down my own hard-earned money, I chose Mackie for its quality," said Lewis. "I'm honored to be working with such an innovative company."
"Both Sean and Craig possess a good mix of technical chops and account management skills," remarked LOUD Technologies' Henri Cohen, VP of Worldwide Sales for LOUD's Macke and Ampeg brands. "They are both respected veterans in our industry and very familiar with their territories.
