Alumnus Shaun Clair of Clair Global has acquired two niche firms, helping it meet rising technical demands and tap new markets. The Lititz-based company said Thursday that it has bought the assets of Wireless First and a related firm, GTO Live, for an undisclosed price. Clair Global is the world's largest provider of concert audio systems and technicians, which it rents to touring rock, pop and country groups. In Wireless First, it has added expertise in wireless microphones, ear monitors, intercoms and other critical equipment. Based in Mount Vernon, N.Y., Wireless First was founded by Kevin Sanford in 1996. Clients include production companies, television networks, events, schools and churches. In GTO Live, Clair Global has added a provider of rental "backline" equipment (instruments and amplifiers) for live televised events and elsewhere. Based in Bensalem and founded by Sanford in 2008, clients include the Tony Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and Country Music Awards.
