SE Audiotechnik, developer and manufacturer of professional loudspeaker systems from Solingen in Germany, has announced the addition of Francesco Gatto to its international R&D team.
Gatto’s sound engineering career already started at the age of 14. Through contact with a local rental company in his hometown in northern Italy and the progressive rock group 'Goblin', Gatto's musical passion and newfound interest in sound engineering allowed him to gain his first experience with sound reinforcement systems. Later Gatto complemented his electroacoustic studies with studies in aerospace and physics with a focus on materials science.
His first designs in the early 90s included passive stage monitors, at the end of the 90s, Gatto designed his first line array system for a well-known Italian brand.
