Active Audio professional loudspeakers has appointed Allied ProTech as its exclusive distributor for the US.

Founded in 2002 in Nantes, France, Active Audio reckons to offer loudspeakers that deliver superior sound performance, intelligibility and neutrality, with installations in some of the world’s most prestigious, yet acoustically challenging spaces.

‘Active Audio is constantly innovating and finding better ways to deliver superior audio performance,’ says Allied ProTech founder and President, Rik Kirby. ‘The StepArray column loudspeakers deliver outstanding intelligibility in reverberant spaces, using fewer DSP channels, without the complex and expensive electronics that make most steered arrays so difficult to install and set up. There is also a full line of active and passive loudspeaker technologies that is unique to the market, and we’re eagerly anticipating bringing their products to the US.’

‘Now is the ideal time for us to enter the US market, and Allied ProTech is the right partner to help us succeed,’ adds Active Audio CEO, Régis Cazin. ‘Rik Kirby brings more than 20 years of expertise in professional audio, and the entire Allied ProTech team bring an insight and understanding of what makes Active Audio loudspeakers unique. We’re confident they will provide the expert sales management and distribution we seek, along with the outstanding service and support that our customers deserve.’
