According to ATI Group president Larry Droppa, sales of the Paragon monitor and the Paragon production console are brisk and expanding, and the company's growth potential will only be improved by the change. "The Paragons are still at an early point in their product life cycle," notes Droppa. "We intend to be selling these consoles for many years and believe that the skills and commitment of people like Richard are a huge reason why. He'll undoubtedly excel in his more robust role and our customers will benefit greatly from his service expertise." Before joining the ATI Group, Joseph's background included production and full technical oversight at Soundcraft UK.
At the same time, the company bids farewell to designer/engineer Shane Morris who leaves to pursue new professional opportunities. "Shane did a brilliant job on the design and engineering of the Paragon monitor, and the Paragon II FOH, both of which constitute some of ATI's most successful products," says Droppa. "But given that all R&D work has now been completed on the consoles, we reluctantly agreed that the timing was right for Shane to take on other challenges outside the ATI Group."
