July 2023 Movers & Shakers in AV

Fulcrum Immersive, provider of immersive audio hardware and software tools, has appointed Luke Vogel to the newly created position of market development manager. Vogel, who worked with Venueflex prior to Fulcrum Acoustic’s recent acquisition of the company, started with Fulcrum Immersive in May 2023. He is presently stationed in North Carolina.

Vogel will serve as a primary resource for Fulcrum Immersive’s system integrators, acoustic designers, and end users. He will provide both technical consultation and support to ensure they understand this emerging technology and can use it effectively in their real-world scenarios.

Vogel has an extensive audio background that makes him well-suited for his new responsibilities with Fulcrum Immersive. After studying Audio Recording and Production at the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences, Vogel moved to Nashville, where he gained considerable experience working in recording studios. He has since mixed FOH for a variety of country, Christian, alternative and pop artists.

In 2005, Vogel became the audio director at Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, Ala., a modern 23-campus congregation serving as many as 70,000 people each weekend. Church of the Highlands had a Venueflex active acoustic system installed in their 2,500-seat broadcast auditorium, giving Luke significant mixing and technical experience with the Fulcrum Immersive technology.

Regarding his appointment at Fulcrum Immersive, Vogel says, “I am excited to be part of the Fulcrum Immersive team. I’ve used and experienced our products in a variety of venues. These tools enable audio and acoustic professionals to maximize the performance of their sound systems and rooms to increase connection with the audience. I look forward to sharing this technology with designers and integrators to make their work easier and more effective.”
