“All these brands come together under the Triple Helix Technologies umbrella to not only do what they’ve done best for as long as you’ve known them, but to combine with a common vision and do it even better, at a lower cost. We’re bringing a brand-new era of technology innovation to the broadcast industry at prices that won’t make your accountant shriek in pain. And hey... who doesn’t like the combination of better technology AND more affordable?,” says the announcement.
MaxxKonnect, Angry Audio, and Logitek will become wholly owned subsidiaries under the new company, with Josh Bohn leading the charge as CEO, Mike “Catfish” Dosch heading up product development, and Tag Borland wrangling technology. The three long-time industry veterans will be equal co-owners of the company, representing well over 100 years of collective experience.
Josh Bohn founded technical services and connectivity company Bohn Broadcast Services in 1998 and rebranded it as The MaxxKonnect Group in 2021. Previously he held engineering positions with Main Line Broadcasting, Clear Channel, Radio One, Cumulus and Delmarva Broadcasting. MaxxKonnect is a full-service broadcast technical firm based in Pelham, AL, providing MaxxKonnect Wireless prioritized LTE services for broadcast and the industry, as well as design and build services for studio and transmitter sites through their MK Integration group.
Michael “Catfish” Dosch started as a console designer with Pacific Research & Engineering and became its VP/COO. He later was founder/president of the Axia Audio division of Telos Alliance, then joined Lawo where he served as product manager for their radio group. He founded Angry Audio in 2018 and left Lawo in 2019 to run Angry Audio full time.
Angry Audio manufactures problem-solving products for professional broadcasters and content creators. The company design gadgets and gizmos that solve difficult studio problems for broadcasters and podcasters, in addition to the StudioHub line of products, the de-facto standard for transporting audio over twisted-pair wiring using RJ45 connections.
“Our vision is to make modern technologies like Audio over IP (AoIP) accessible to even the smallest broadcasters. We’re not afraid to shake things up a bit and try something new,” said Bohn. “My roots are in smaller-market radio stations, where I learned how to perform miracles on a shoestring budget.” Bohn continues, “This is the genesis for Triple Helix Technology where we are using technology innovation to help broadcasters with more modest budgets do more and spend less. For example, Logitek offers us the ability to provide some amazing new AoIP options at a price point that even smaller broadcasters can afford without compromising on quality or features.”
Some of those products include the 1RU Jet67 AoIP mix engine, the flexible yet cost effective MixIt consoles, the fully featured Helix radio consoles, and the Helix Studio soft surface. “We’re super excited to bring affordable AoIP options to the market,” said Borland “and have a whole new range of products coming down the pipe.” Logitek’s Jet67 engine and other products will natively speak AES67, Livewire, Ravenna, and (optionally) Dante so no matter what existing standard a facility may be using, or even if they have yet to venture into AoIP, these systems will drop right in.
Dosch wrapped things up by saying “This greatly expands our mix of products and services, but what is more interesting is the synergy in the combined group. Just wait until you see what’s next!”
Triple Helix Technologies, headquartered in Pelham, AL, is committed to advancing technology that transforms broadcasting for creators and networks worldwide, leveraging its brands, including Maxxkonnect, StudioHub, MK Technical Services, Angry Audio, and Logitek. The company’s vision is to provide cost-effective products and services that punch far above their weight, offering major market performance for small market budgets.
The company will be formally announced on April 14, during the first day of the NAB Show 2024, in booth W3322 (LVCC West Hall.
