Episode 422 – Picking A Social Media Manager, Gibson Guitars Are Dad Rock, And Kali Audio Execs

My guests this week are director of marketing Nate Baglyos and director of acoustics Charles Sprinkle of the speaker manufacturer Kali Audio. Both held executive positions at JBL before joining forces to start the company. Kali studio monitors are built to offer the best possible value to its customers, while providing high-performance products that fit any budget. During the interview we talked about why opera singers aren’t fun to be around, why designing professional speakers is more rewarding than consumer speakers, the theory behind Kali’s coaxial speaker configuration, why the science of loudspeaker design is so important, fine-tuning loudspeaker DSP, and much more. I spoke with Nate and Charles via zoom from their offices in Burbank. On the intro I’ll take a look at how the social media manager job has evolved, and why Gibson Guitars are now equated to “Dad rock.”
