"QSC is one of the most visible and credible brands in professional audio. My goal is to take that leverage and build an assortment of loudspeaker products that will be in line with the quality, ruggedness and reliability that is synonymous with QSC," says Manor. "Where I can see myself adding value to this newly-created position is by inserting myself as the conduit between R&D and Sales to produce products that more closely match the needs of our customers."
Manor comes over from a six-and-a-half-year tenure at JBL Professional, where he was the product manager for many of JBL’s high volume speaker lines. While at JBL, he was responsible for the development and maintenance of the TR, MR, SR-X, EON and MPro Series. Manor has an MBA from Pepperdine University and over 15 years of experience as a live sound engineer.
"We’re very pleased to have a person of Phil’s calibre joining our organization," said Barry Ferrell, QSC Audio’s senior product development manager. "With technology advancing at such a rapid pace and the company’s product line competing in a number of important vertical markets, the need for a seasoned product manager with the skill and experience Phil brings to the table is critical. Given our expanding product line and the numerous major developments in our future, Phil brings a broad spectrum of knowledge to QSC. I’m confident he will be a tremendous asset to our company."
