Russound, a leading manufacturer of multi-room and custom audio solutions, has been supplying dealers with innovative solutions since 1967. More recently, it has become a key custom integration brand valued by integrators for its combination of innovation, reliability, and ease of use.
This appointment of Michael Everett comes at a key time for the company as it stands on the cusp of launching one of its “most significant new product lineups in its history.” At the same time, it is preparing to substantially expand its popular commercial audio offerings in both the electronics and loudspeaker categories.
Extensive Sales and Business Development Experience
In his role as Vice President of Sales, Everett will lead Russound’s sales organization, strengthen its existing customer and channel relationships while developing new accounts, channels, and market opportunities in both the U.S. and internationally.
Everett’s extensive career spans both the consumer electronics and audio industries. Prior to joining Russound, Everett was Business Development Manager at MISCO/Minneapolis Speaker Company for two and a half years. Before that, for more than five years, he served as MISCO’s Vice President of Global Sales.
Everett Experienced in Both Domestic and International Sales
Prior to joining MISCO, Everett spent more than twelve years at Remote Technologies Inc. (RTI) where he was Vice President of Global Sales and General Manager of Pro Control. The Russound announcement noted that at RTI, Everett built and led a global sales organization spanning domestic and international distribution and helped expand the company’s presence to more than 100 countries. He also played a key role in launching Pro Control globally, developing its sales infrastructure, distribution network, and go-to-market strategy.
We’re at a very exciting point in Russound’s growth, and the timing of bringing Mike onto our team couldn’t be better. Over the next several months, we’ll be introducing one of the largest new product lineups in our history, while significantly expanding our commercial audio offering across both electronics and loudspeakers. We see tremendous opportunity ahead, not only with our existing customers but with entirely new customers and markets. Mike has spent his career building relationships, developing channels and turning new products into new business. That experience, combined with his deep knowledge of our industry, is exactly what we need as we enter this next stage of growth.

Joining Russound at a Pivotal Moment
At Russound, Everett will work closely with Russound’s sales team, manufacturer representatives, distributors, dealers, and international partners. In addition to growing the company’s established residential audio business, Everett will play an important role in bringing the company’s expanding commercial audio portfolio to market and developing the new customers and channels that it creates.
I’m thrilled to join Russound at such an important time for the company. Russound has an outstanding reputation, strong relationships throughout the industry and a strong product roadmap. I’m looking forward to working with the team and our partners to build on that foundation and create new opportunities for growth.
