Ben has been involved with ADC since it started. He spent two decades engineering products for Cadac, Focusrite/Novation and ROLI (amongst others), and headed ROLI's R&D team in its formative years. He has refused to pick either side of the hardware/software or product/engineering divides, resists imposing such restrictions on others, and is now permanently overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of detail in the world. He was awarded a PhD in spatial psychoacoustics from the University of Surrey in 2005.

Since 2018, Ben has been working as an independent consultant and inventor, has released a head tracker under the Supperware brand, and has expended serious effort trying to improve spatial audio delivery over headphones.
