Industry veteran, Dave Pedigo, has joined the Trinnov Audio team as global director of training.
In this newly created role, he will be responsible for the development and implementation of new and expanded training and educational programmes for Trinnov on a global basis and support the development of industry immersive audio standards.
Bringing with him over 20 years of experience in the custom electronics industry, Pedigo joins Trinnov from Auralex Acoustics where he served as the CEO for the acoustics manufacturer. He is widely known in the industry from his 14 years of work at CEDIA, where he oversaw Education, Certification, and Technology. While there, Pedigo created the current CEDIA R10 Standards Committee. He led its dedicated volunteers in creating the first industry standards on home theatre audio and video design and installation.
Prior to this, Pedigo was the director of global training for THX and senior director of education for the Satellite Broadcasting and Communications Association. He holds a degree in social science and secondary education and taught public school for five years before finding what he calls his true calling in the home theatre industry.
“It is an amazing opportunity to join Trinnov, the world leader in home cinema audio,” said Pedigo. “Trinnov exudes precision and excellence, and I look forward to developing training programmes that meet their high standard and to enable custom integrators to realise the full potential of their solutions for customers.”
Arnaud Laborie, Trinnov’s CEO added: “We are very pleased to add Dave Pedigo to the Trinnov Audio family. Dave has a distinguished background and wide management experience, including an exceptional track record of success in the fields of training and education. At Trinnov, we value technical knowledge highly and believe in establishing and promulgating performance standards for home cinema, in order to elevate the quality of work done throughout our industry. Dave’s passion for training, certification and standards make him the ideal person to advance our initiatives.”
