Philip DiPaula brings a vast range of audio and video system expertise and commitment to supporting customers throughout the country that require creative technical solutions, extensive project experience, and long-term support capabilities. DiPaula, an honors graduate in electrical engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology, began his career with Maryland Sound Industries (MSI), specializing in live sound production. During his seven-year tenure at MSI, DiPaula was instrumental in developing MSI’s permanent systems division and working as a systems engineer with project management responsibilities on large international themed entertainment projects. As a founding member and partner of SPL Integrated Solutions, he dedicated twenty-three years as a project engineer and asset to the sales management team. Working out of SPL’s Orlando location, he developed and led his team working on themed entertainment and large-scale audiovisual systems. For six years at Electrosonic, he served on the sales team to continue the development of immersive experiences. As Director of Immersive Systems with Clair Global Integration, DiPaula aims to further his sales and business development focus to enhance the museum and immersive entertainment experiences.

I've spent over 30 years as a sound engineer, sound designer, and composer for theater, and as a consultant designing AV systems for theaters, performing arts centers, museums, sports venues, etc. (the list is long). I mentor young theater sound designers at a couple local high schools and try to give back a little of the amazing mentoring I've been given over the years.
