So, Mark Williams was traveling, as he is known to do. Being an international man of action is exhausting work, and someone snapped a shot of the guy as he just up and fell asleep—in a full suit—on the beach in Lisbon, Portugal. It’s tough work, but someone has to do it.

Anyhow, in true Mark Williams style, not only did he not break a sweat in the hot sun in a full suit, but when he got up to walk back to his car, there was no sand on his suit. Not a grain. Lone Ranger style.

I don’t know how he does it, but he better patent it ASAP. He could put the entire dry cleaning industry out of business.

International Sales Director of Mystery Mark Williams was able to obtain these top-secret photos; surriptitously shot with his astonishing 8-megapixel suit-button camera.

His now-declassified mission primarily focused on softening a problematic Russian Pork embargo during Sao Paulo’s 2012 Global Customs Forum. Word from our contacts at MI6 is that once again, Mark Williams’ intercontinental powers of seduction have proved limitless, as PreSonus forum users in Brazil have suddenly had very little to complain about.

His Mission: Complete, Mark gathered surveillance of the ExpoMusic show, where suspicions were confirmed: PreSonus partners at QUANTA Brasil are doing an exceptional job.

See below evidence.

“Winning this prize gives us the freedom to use iPods^® to mix our monitors on stage and enables us to rapidly achieve the best in-ear sound,” says Rösch. “What’s more, our sound engineer is no longer bound to the FOH location. He can now operate the console via iPad from anywhere in the venue. We’re about to embark on a tour across Germany and will be able to exploit the full potential of the StudioLive technology. Thank you, PreSonus!”

In the U.S., the lucky prize winner is Sean Menza of Lakewood, Washington. Sean uses a StudioLive 16.0.2 to mix and record his band Unified Culture. “The StudioLive console gives us everything we need to mix our band, from great-sounding preamps to onboard effects,” says Menza. “We’ve always loved the fact that it gives us more than enough aux buses to give everyone a monitor mix. With our new Pads ‘n’ ‘Pods prizes, we can use QMix™ to control our mixes up on stage. And I can use the iPad^® to mix the band live from anywhere in the room. It doesn’t get any cooler than that.”
