Marc Johnson really likes Axia IP-Audio networking. He
likes it so much, in fact, that he not only installed it in his radio
station — he came to work for the company.
Marc first became acquainted with Axia as Chief Engineer
at Auburn University’s WEGL-FM in Auburn, Alabama. While planning for a
rebuild of the public broadcaster’s on-air studio, he found Axia’s
scalable, Ethernet-based IP-Audio network technology to be a perfect
fit. In the Spring of 2004, WEGL became the US’ first radio station to
“go live” 24/7 with IP-Audio studios.
During the WEGL project, Marc developed a close
relationship with Axia. After two years working with Axia products in
the field, he has joined the Axia team as Applications Engineer. As part
of his job, he will work closely with Axia clients, helping determine
their needs and design customized IP-Audio networks.
“Since WEGL was the very first installation, I learned
from the ground up how Axia works,” says Marc. “I was very impressed
with all that IP-Audio networks can accomplish for their users; I saw
how Axia equipment could streamline a radio station’s daily operations.
It’s world-changing technology.”
“I also got to know the Axia family,” he adds. “They have
a true passion for broadcast audio, and a genuine desire to turn their
clients into fans. Becoming a part of that family is a natural fit for
me.”
“Marc makes an excellent addition to our team,” says Axia
President Michael Dosch. “Axia has grown rapidly over the past few
years, and Marc will play a vital role in helping continue that growth.
He brings with him valuable field knowledge of our products, which gives
him the perfect background to assist our clients as they plan their own
IP-Audio studios.”
Marc began his broadcasting career in 1996 at Athens
Broadcasting’s WZYP-FM, and has been Chief Engineer of WEGL since 2002.
He is President of Premier Solutions, a VoIP and network design company
based in Auburn, Alabama. Mr. Johnson holds a Bachelor of Science degree
in Computer Engineering from Auburn University, and will receive MBA and
B.S.E.E. degrees from Auburn in 2007.
Marc will be working from his home office in
Auburn, Alabama, and can be reached at +1-334-319-1328, or via email at
