Karl Chapman has joined Midas Klark Teknik in the newly created role of sales manager, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa).

Chapman joins the company after 15 years in European sales at console manufacturer Soundcraft. Prior to this, he held positions at Amek and Mitsubishi Electric UK and Neve Electronics.

"I'm delighted to be joining Midas Klark Teknik," he said. "It's clear that the company has been very active in the world of digital, and I am looking forward to working with John Oakley and the sales team to establish an even stronger presence in the markets of Europe, the Middle East and Africa."

John Oakley, general manager of Midas Klark Teknik, added: "Karl is one of the best sales managers in pro audio and I am delighted that the rapidly growing Midas Digital range has tempted him to join us during this exciting phase in the company's development. I've known Karl for many years and he brings a wealth of experience to us. Karl's appointment fills the biggest gap in our new sales management structure, which has already grown sales substantially in Asia and Eastern Europe."

Walter Reh continues to represent Midas Klark Teknik in Eastern Europe, with Rob Hughes responsible for the UK.
