Audix, a leading US manufacturer of microphones for the professional audio markets and installed sound industry, is pleased to announce that Steve Young, CTS has joined the Audix team as Director of US Sales.
Young has served over 20 years in the pro audio manufacturing industry. Young was most recently the Director of Large Venue Sales for Biamp/Community Loudspeakers. Prior to that, he was VP of Sales and Marketing at AtlasIED and joined Behringer for the launch of the X32 digital mixer.
“Singing on stage, experiencing worship, learning remotely in a virtual classroom or taking in an important meeting online – all of these experiences are just better with Audix microphones”, says Young. “With Audix’s USA-based manufacturing and engineering, we have the resources in-house for fast reaction to market demand. I look forward to working with new and existing Audix customers to grow our collective business.”
Young’s extended experience in the pro audio world is a welcome addition to Audix, as it grows into its 36th year of manufacturing innovative, high quality products.
“I hired Steve to lead the North American sales effort when I was CEO of Community,” says Steve Johnson, VP of Sales and Marketing for Audix. “He has deep industry knowledge and truly believes in the power of high quality audio to elevate the customer experience. I’m thrilled that Steve has joined the Audix sales team and energized to be working with him again. It’s like getting the band back together. Now we need a drummer!”

The day before they played the coveted Blue Room at Third Man Records in Nashville, the Washington, D.C.-based garage-punk duo Teen Mortgage released their debut record, Devil Ultrasonic Dream. Not a bad couple of days for a young band.
PG’s Chris Kies caught up with guitarist and vocalist James Guile at the Blue Room to find out how he builds the band’s bombastic guitar attack.

Devilish Dunable
Guile has been known to use Telecasters and Gretsches in the past, but this time out he’s sticking with this Dunable Cyclops DE, courtesy of Gwarsenio Hall—aka Jordan Olds of metal-themed comedy talk show Two Minutes to Late Night. Guile digs the Dunable’s lightness on his shoulders, and its balance of high and low frequencies.
Storm Warning
What does Guile like about this Squier Cyclone? Simple: its color. This one is also nice and easy on the back, and Guile picked it up from Atomic Music in Beltsville, Maryland.
Crushing It
Guile also scooped this Music Man 410-HD from Atomic, which he got just for this tour for a pretty sweet deal. It runs alongside an Orange Crush Bass 100 to rumble out the low end.
James Guile’s Pedalboard
The Electro-Harmonix Micro POG and Hiwatt Filter Fuzz MkII run to the Orange, while everything else—a DigiTech Whammy, Pro Co Lil’ RAT, and Death by Audio Echo Dream 2—runs to the Music Man. A TC Helicon Mic Mechanic is on board for vocal assistance, and a TC Electronic PolyTune 3, Morley ABY, and Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 3 Plus keep the ship afloat.
