The 12volt Specialist Hosts Northeastern Arc Audio Integration and DSP Training Sessions

MILFORD, CT (07.28.23) – On Tuesday, July 25th, the 12volt Specialist rep firm and Arc Audio hosted the Northeastern Arc Audio Integration and DSP Training at Speed of Sound Technologies in Milford CT. Brian Mitchell, Arc Audio National Sales Manager, conducted the session utilizing his amazing pickup truck studio that features large monitor screens mounted in the truck’s bed for presentations. Just this past weekend the vehicle participated in the Steel Valley Regional in Wheeling WV.

Brian Mitchell has the undivided attention of all during the Arc Audio presentation at Speed of Sound on Tuesday, July 25th.

Phil Chartier, 12volt Specialist firm principal, related “The training session definitely hit the mark. Milton Benevides, Speed of Sound Technologies owner, was kind enough to let us utilize his beautiful shop for the training session. The setup in the install bay had 18 attendees seated by Brian’s truck for the presentation. Following the presentation Arc Audio provided a delicious BBQ spread that all enjoyed.”

The large monitors mounted on the truck bed make it easy to grasp Mitchell’s Arc Audio DSP presentation.

In a phone conversation Milton Benevides commented “Everyone was totally focused on Brian’s presentation. The setup in his pickup is so hands-on and functional. No doubt dealers who attended the training, and I, will be prepared and ready to deliver the Arc Audio DSP experience to customers in our stores.”

The trailer loaded with 2 vehicles that were on the Steel Valley Regional XII event floor.

“Having Brian in the territory is terrific. At 12volt Specialist we opened our new office and training center in Merrimack NH very recently and on July 16th and 17th hosted our first DSP training session. Ken Ward presented the latest from Audison Forza DSP amplifiers to 18 dealers from the area who attended. Brian’s second Arc Audio training in the territory is scheduled in the 12volt Specialist HQ Thursday July 27th and we anticipate a solid turnout of dealers….stay tuned for more” Chartier stated.

The Speed of Sound showroom makes an amazing in-store impression with customers.

Brian Mitchell definitely is logging some miles from Arc Audio’s HQ in Modesto CA on the trip to participate at the Steel Valley Regional and trainings in the Northeast with Phil and the 12volt Specialist team. Siri says the trip is over 2500 miles one way.

The Arc Audio pickup is towing a trainer with two additional vehicles that were also on the event floor at the SVRXII in Wheeling WVA. Bet that adds up to lots of points on a gas card.
