Optocore and partner company BroaMan have appointed Parma-based Audiolink as their sole distributor for the Italian market.
‘With Optocore and BroaMan as part of our already strong portfolio, we are able to offer customers flexible solutions at the highest level, in both the live and fixed installation sectors, particularly theatres, says Audiolink General Manager, Stefano Cantadori.
‘Today’s integrations require a massive chunk of fibre optic data, and Optocore, together with BroaMan, allows all the different signals to be managed on a single fibre ring with full redundancy. Total redundancy means avoiding any type of problem – unforeseen circumstances that can lead to a lot of expense for the installer and the customer.’
The Munich-based fibre specialists provide transport, routing, format conversion and digital data distribution together with complete management and diagnostic functions. Formats represented include Dante, Madi, AVB, Ethernet as well as protocols from the world of lighting (DMX512), video and others – all simply channelled down a single optical fibre.
Such flexibility and proven reliability has also seen Optocore/BroaMan solutions successfully implemented in a host of events, ranging from large scale festivals to opening/closing ceremonies of global sporting events.
‘We are very happy to have found a strong partner in Italy that will best represent our two brands. Stefano and his team are very competent people, with whom we can’t wait to start this collaboration,’ says Optocore Director of Sales & MarketingBroaMan MD, Tine Helmle, who also highlights the synergy Optocore has with DiGiCo – a brand that has been successfully distributed by Audiolink for many years – as a further benefit. ‘We particularly appreciate the ability of Audiolink to cover our main markets – both in the installation sector as well as in live audio.’
The new collaboration is effective immediately.
