Mike Case has had a successful career in the professional audio industry. For the past 25 years, he helped lead the pioneering digital audio efforts with companies such as Yamaha, Digidesign/Avid, and Optocore. More recently, and for nearly 15 years, Case has been a familiar face for those working with d&b audiotechnik, where he led artist relations efforts after many years of being territory manager and managing director for the prestigious German brand.
"PK Sound has developed the most exciting and relevant new technology I've seen in years, with the power to significantly change the way people work in this industry," explains Case. "Not only do PK’s robotic systems deliver better acoustic performance than conventional line arrays; they also save time and money thanks to a truly new and innovative feature set. This is a young, talented, and passionate team full of exciting potential, and I look forward to realizing that together with our partner network."
Mike Case played a pivotal role in the analog-to-digital transformation of the live sound industry, helping to redefine how modern touring and event audio systems are deployed and managed. He worked with Yamaha Commercial Audio to introduce the world's first large-format digital mixing console, the PM1D, and later joined Digidesign (now Avid) to launch the groundbreaking Venue console series before moving to d&b audiotechnik. There, he held a series of senior leadership roles – opening the company’s APAC hub in Singapore, growing the brand’s footprint in multiple regions, and supporting the launch of key technologies including Soundscape.
In his new role, Case will report to PK Sound CEO Jeremy Bridge and lead the company’s growing international network in further expanding the brand’s profile and reach.
"We’re excited to welcome Mike to our team and leverage his expertise to deliver the acoustic and operational advantages of PK Sound technologies to more people and places around the world," says Bridge. "We’re proud of our company culture and know that Mike will make a major contribution to it."
PK Sound has been consistently expanding its portfolio of sound reinforcement products over the past years and is now in a position to rival the offerings from the leading established professional audio brands. As an example, PK Sound has recently augmented the feature set of PK .dynamics, its proprietary robotic line source system design, control, and monitoring software for Windows and macOS, allowing users to take their designs from conception to the real world with the flexibility of real-time coverage adjustments even after the system is flown.
PK Sound also added new intelligent point-source modules, enabling users to design and control complete system solutions for a myriad of mobile and permanent applications. Increasingly, audio engineers are specifying PK Sound solutions for their ability to mechanically optimize the soundfield and configure dispersion remotely, in real-time, in order to achieve the best possible sound and impact over the audience area, with minimal reflections and distortion, even before applying any audio processing.
