Christien Ellis MSc, BEng (Hons)

From an early age a fascination of sound has led Christien into a lifelong study of electro-acoustics. A Degree in electronics and a Masters in acoustics laid the foundations for a loudspeaker profession and in 1996 an opportunity arose for a junior loudspeaker engineer with British hi-fi company, Mission Electronics. In 1997 Christien transferred to support the development of a new loudspeaker technology, the Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML) with licensing company, New Transducers Limited (NXT). Christien operated in a technical research and management role for the development of full range drive units, now commercially known as the Audio Full Range (AFR) and Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) drive units. Further commercial developments gave Christien the opportunity to work alongside world-class loudspeaker companies broadening his drive unit and system design expertise.

Wishing to support the audio and loudspeaker industry further, CE Electro-Acoustics was founded in 2007.
