Frank Hinton - ACETA

PictureFrank Hinton
Frank’s career, centerd on music, it’s creation, performance and the tools and technology to perform, record, reproduce and reinforce it, began as a young musician. His passion for entertainment technology developed when he joined legendary Strauss Sound Systems, followed by national service duty in the army band corps. On discharge he joined the Brash Holdings Group gaining corporate experience as musical instrument product manager, leading the company into professional audio.
 
Frank formed ATT Audio Controls Pty Ltd, 1985 to represent audio manufacturers.

In 2007 a new company, Classic Audio Designs Pty Ltd was formed. As lead designer, the Grover Notting critical listening platform was ultimately realised.
Today ATT Audio Controls continues as an Australasian representative of entertainment technology and Classic Audio Designs, creates, manufactures and exports critical listening systems and devices, founded on applied physics, with both companies being niche by choice and family owned.

In 2009 Frank was part of a small industry group who established the Australian Commercial Entertainment Technology Association, the industries peak body.
​
Returning to his roots, he recently formed a band of elite musicians, and will soon record a reference album to evaluate core technologies, platforms, followed by an international release.
