We would like to introduce the latest edition to our “People Behind the Product” series! In this series, we celebrate the incredible individuals who make up our diverse team worldwide. We are thrilled to introduce Owen Ironside, Sales Manager - APAC.

Owen’s dedication to collaboration, insight, and excellence drives Meyer Sound’s presence across Asia and the pacific. As Sales Manager for the region, his deep industry knowledge and strategic mindset support our partners in delivering exceptional sound experiences. Owen’s leadership strengthens relationships and expands opportunities, bringing the Meyer Sound standard to every stage and venue.

To get to know Owen better, we asked him a few questions about his work at Meyer Sound and life beyond the office.

Question: What is your favorite Meyer Sound memory?

Answer: It would have to be The PANTHER launch in Las Vegas. It was the first time since the pandemic that we got together as a company. It was such a great atmosphere, and it felt like there was magic in the air. From the moment those first few notes hit us, we all knew something very special was happening.

Q: What book is on your bedside table?

A: The Encyclopedia Of Space (Published in 1968!) It was my Dad’s, and he shared his passion for space with me as a kid. Now I get to share it with my daughters.

Q: What does a perfect day off look like for you?

A: It sounds strange, but I find the best way to unwind is extreme sports. Downhill mountain biking, skiing, motorsports… It’s impossible to think about anything else, so really anything that requires a helmet and I’m pretty much in!

Q: What is an achievement you are proud of?

A: I couldn’t be prouder of my two amazing daughters, Summer and Heidi.

Q: Sweet or savory?

A: Savory, all the way!

Q: Dogs or cats? Do you have any pets?

A: If they didn’t make me sneeze, I’d have a cat for sure.

Q: What’s one thing people don’t know about you?

A: When I’m not travelling around Asia Pacific for Meyer Sound, I spend a lot of time at the race track, as a superbike racer and mechanic. Starting with a road bike, I build and set up superbikes to race specification, then race them!

Nestled in the heart of Niagara’s wine country, the Jackson-Triggs Amphitheatre has been a stage for Canada’s most iconic artists since 2001. This summer, the 575-seat open-air venue made history as the first in Canada to feature our ULTRA-X80 versatile point source loudspeaker.

The system includes 8 ULTRA-X80s, 6 900-LFC compact low-frequency control elements, 10 ULTRA-X20 compact point source loudspeakers as front-fills, and a GALAXY-816 digital processor — designed by Jamie Howieson, provided by Solotech, and supported by our Canadian distributor GerrAudio Distribution.

“Providing a world-class sound experience from our whimsical, vineyard amphitheatre is integral to our concert series. Our guests agree, there is nothing better than enjoying a sophisticated sound experience, while sipping a Grand Reserve Wine under the stars!” said Stacey Vukovics, Estate Manager, Jackson-Triggs Niagara Estate.

Rob Richardson, President of Marquis Entertainment and promoter for the Jackson-Triggs Amphitheatre, added: “We at the Jackson-Triggs Amphitheatre have always prided ourselves on creating a unique and personal musical experience for our guests. With the Meyer ULTRA-X80 system in place, our audience and artist response throughout the season has been consistently and overwhelmingly impressed. The quieter singer-songwriter shows feel rich and clear while the rock shows feel more present and nuanced than ever.”

As the amphitheatre wraps up another successful concert season, we’re proud to have helped power unforgettable performances with incredible audio solutions.
