David Caulwell Tapped to Lead 4Wall Entertainment Audio Division

4Wall Entertainment has significantly strengthened its audio department with the appointment of David Caulwell as Vice President of Live Events. Bringing over 25 years of industry expertise and a proven record of delivering world-class audio, Caulwell's hire promises enhanced audio offerings and solutions to 4Wall's clients.  In the newly created role, Caulwell will work to bring full audio offerings, including both equipment and services, to the company's clients across all end markets and geographies.  

Caulwell joins 4Wall from Riedel Communications, where he played a pivotal role supporting high-profile clients, including the NFL, MLB, NBA, news and sports networks, social media platforms, and space exploration companies. His experience spans all facets of live production, from mobile trucks and boutique events to large-scale productions, shaping his philosophy that exceptional audio is foundational to meaningful and impactful experiences. 

"I've always viewed 4Wall as the undisputed leader in live events, from touring and corporate functions to broadcast and theatrical productions," Caulwell shared. "Expanding their existing audio strategy to complement their expertise in lighting, video, and rigging feels like a natural progression." 

Brad Hafer, Senior Vice President of Global Live Events at 4Wall, expressed enthusiasm about Caulwell's addition. "Bringing David onboard significantly strengthens our growing audio offering," said Hafer. "His extensive industry experience, coupled with his strategic approach to audio solutions, positions us to enhance our service and support to our clients." 

Beyond technical excellence, Caulwell was drawn to 4Wall's company culture. "What really sealed the deal for me, though, is the company's culture," said Caulwell. "There's a real commitment to making every team member feel valued, engaged, and heard. In my first few weeks here, I've experienced that firsthand. People genuinely care, not just about getting the job done, but about each other. There's a real sense of camaraderie and openness. You can reach out to anyone, regardless of location or title, and be met with support." 

In his new role, Caulwell aims to leverage 4Wall's existing audio capabilities while enhancing standardization and expanding IP-based audio solutions to better serve hybrid and broadcast events. "It's about optimizing how we deploy gear, meeting evolving client needs, and empowering our teams," he explained. "We have trusted brands like Shure, L-Acoustics, d&b audiotechnik, Meyer Sound, Yamaha, DiGiCo, Riedel, and Clear-Com. My goal is to strengthen our audio inventory and on-site execution to provide even greater value to our clients." 

Further bolstering the audio division, Elliot Carroll has also joined the company alongside Caulwell, bringing over two decades of experience managing audio services for significant corporate events, conventions, broadcasts, and festivals. "Elliot is the ideal addition to our team," Caulwell stated. "His expertise in tech management, strategic gear investments, operational leadership, and team welfare is exactly what we need to drive thoughtful, sustainable growth." Carroll's day-to-day role will focus on driving innovation, optimizing operational leadership, and enhancing client support across key areas like project design and warehouse management. 

"I'm incredibly proud to join 4Wall," Caulwell concluded. "The combination of world-class execution and a culture filled with collaboration and respect makes this opportunity truly special. We're ready to raise the bar even higher, and yes, I've already located the best coffee machine in the building. Priorities."
