APPENDIX Designer:
I have a unique successfully experience in designing and optimizing sound systems of any size
and for any application.
In my career, I had directly design or directed the design of:
a) Ten complete lines of enclosures made of plastic materials, either by injection that rotational
mould technique, with a large experience in 3D printing and rapid prototype in many different
technologies. This for a total of thirty different models, more than double versions whereas the
passive versions, with LF driver of any size from 2" to 15". These products have been successfully
marketed in both fixed installation and portable market.
b) Seven complete installand portable lines realized those with any type of material derived from
wood, the total of the models exceeds even in this case many tens in the different versions.
c) For Touring applications,my experience is relevant. Seven series,dozens of models, from point
source to line array technology with characteristics often unique and innovative.
Recently back in design for the latest Turbosound flagship Manchester series.
I can assert, without fear of contradiction, to have developed and introduced in 1999 the first
coaxial speakers with dedicated waveguide for high frequencies range, ECLIPSE & CONTACT
SERIES, as well as to have spurred on the market use of subwoofer with 21" speaker, in compact
bass-reflex alignment, since 2002, EDGE121SP.
My experience is completed with the development in a team of various DSP platforms (Hardware
and Software) with standard, FPGA or ESIG processors, power amplifiers, mixers.
I can complete any systems with aunique set of pre-sets applying a personal unique hybrid tuning
technique based on a mix of FIR, IIR and ALL PASS processing.
Last but not least I can design all the necessary hardware accessories for a speaker system, from
special design handles, rigging solution and more.
