Tectonic Audio Labs, the provider of audio solutions using bending wave technology, announced the appointment of Susan Cashen to serve as its independent board member effective January 1, 2021. With the appointment, the Woodinville, WA-based company is hoping to add strategic marketing and operational business experience to its Board of Directors. Tectonic Audio Labs continues to pursue the untapped potential for its Balanced Mode Radiators drivers in emerging consumer applications, from voice-enabled smart speakers to unified communication products and soundbars.
 

"We are excited to welcome Susan to our board of directors, where she will bring decades of leadership in key areas, such as marketing and strategy implementation that are vital to our continued success," says Craig Hubbell, Tectonic's Chairman and CEO. "Susan's counsel and expertise will bring energy to our board and help as we work to build Tectonic's market position through differentiated audio products that provide unique value in Unified Communications, IoT, Automotive and Consumer Electronics."

In addition to Tectonic, Susan currently serves as a board director at T3 Micro and is a strategic advisor to a number of companies and industry groups, including CEDIA, SAVI Controls and BYTE. Previously, Susan was the SVP of Marketing at Control4 where she oversaw global marketing, support and training operations, leading all product marketing, branding, corporate communications, training and tech support, and channel programs for the company. As a member of the executive management team, Susan was a key contributor to the company's IPO in 2013 and later its merger with SnapAV in 2019. Prior to Control4, Susan held executive positions with TiVo and MyWaves.

Tectonic Audio Labs has rapidly established itself as a leader in audio innovation with their patented Balanced Mode Radiator and Distributed Mode Loudspeaker products, which use bending wave technology to deliver high-quality sound and elevated vocal intelligibility with the industries widest directivity. Their speakers are currently in use in everything from VR gaming headsets to smart speakers and hotels. Tectonic is poised for rapid growth and expansion in the commercial and connected devices space with the development of additional offerings in 2021.

"Tectonic has elevated the standard for brands looking to deliver the ultimate audio experience for their customers, offering a powerful way for companies to differentiate and build a rabid following," says Ms. Cashen. "Under Craig's leadership, the company has advanced its value proposition and opportunity significantly this past year alone, making it an exciting time for a new director to join the team to strategize on ways to drive future growth and success."
 

Through sophisticated design and integration, Tectonic's innovative transducers deliver superior sound solutions with immense potential in both sound reinforcements and consumer electronics. Unfortunately, the company has been permanently divided between selling its own finished products in the professional audio space, and effectively pursuing licensing opportunities, or being positioned as an OEM/ODM speaker component supplier.

Tectonic's Balanced Mode Radiators (BMRs) have proven successful implementations in soundbars, smart speakers, home electronics and communication applications. The company should be able to capitalize on the rapid shift occurring in consumer electronics as more and more products move to voice enabled applications. Tectonic offers a unique audio solution that provides high voice intelligibility, wide dispersion and off axis audio performance which results in a smooth, natural voice.
