The company's products have long been a mainstay for major movie and TV productions, theatrical and installed sound. Today, Lectrosonics products are sold in nearly every country in the world. Mr. Fisher explained “After more than 40 years of design engineering and administration, I’m going to take time for fast cars, slow comfortable hammocks and interesting travel. The very capable Lectrosonics management team has been in place for over a decade and I expect continued innovation and advancement in the coming years as they rise to the challenges of new regulations and spectrum allocations.” Being promoted to the position of President of Lectrosonics is Gordon Moore, formerly Vice President, Sales/Service and a 26 year veteran of the company. Mr. Moore has been active in the audio and AV industry since joining Lectrosonics in 1988.

Jeff Wexler Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Congratulations to all! Thank you, Karl, for the great write up and announcement of the changes at Lectrosonics. I sure hope the part about Larry "continuing his presence on industry-related social media sites" (that would be us here at JWSOUND) is true --- Larry has been a welcomed participant here, helping all of us with everything relating to wireless technology, even for those of us who don't necessarily use Lectro products. Have a great time in retirement Larry, please do check in here every once in awhile, you will always be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Reineke Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 "Congratulations Larry and the Lectrosonics team. Will miss Larry's messages" +11 I would surmise, this will give our esteemed friend Larry more time to post messages.. and maybe fill in for the 'vacationing' Senator Mike.
