Kaltheuner is well known in the industry; his professional career included 10 years at audio rental house Padco in Köln, before establishing the boutique pro audio specialist Teqsas, which Kaltheuner ran successfully for five years before moving to Yamaha Commercial Audio where he joined the product planning department in Japan. This was followed by three years at Riedel Communication as head of product management before joining d&b.
A Graduate of Köln University with a Masters degree in Psychology, Kaltheuner is the first to admit his qualifications and experience might appear at odds with his new role. "But in fact the two things are very closely related; Marketing is by definition both a science and an art, and those two factors also reside at the heart of what d&b audiotechnik does as a developer and manufacturer of professional audio systems."
