LANCASTER, PA, SEPTEMBER 3, 2015Linear Acoustic has expanded its leadership team with the hiring of industry veterans Chris Shaw as Vice President of Global Sales, Television and Martin Dyster as Vice President of Business Development/Television. These hires, coupled with the promotion of Dan Chuey to Vice President of Engineering & Production, bring years of experience to Linear Acoustic that will fortify its efforts in the broadcast space.

“With Chris, Martin, and Dan on board, it should be obvious that we are growing in some exciting new directions,” commented Tim Carroll, founder of Linear Acoustic and CTO of the Telos Alliance. “This also bolsters world-wide sales and support efforts for our already excellent product lineup, further demonstrating our commitment to the industry on a more global level.”

He comes to Linear Acoustic from Cobalt Digital, where he joined as a Sales Manager and eventually gained the position of Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. The company tripled its sales revenue during his time as Executive Vice President.

He began his career in the U.K. and relocated to the U.S. to hold positions such as Executive Vice President of Snell & Wilcox in California.

With more than 28 years of experience, Dyster brings a solid technical knowledge base with him to his Vice President of Business Development role where he will be instrumental in expanding the company’s Audio over IP (AoIP) business. He comes to Linear Acoustic via TSL Products where he led the company’s audio division to sustained growth. Prior to that, he was part of TSL Products sister company, TSL Systems, where he oversaw some of the world’s highest profile TV broadcast infrastructure projects.
