Apex has appointed CUK Audio as exclusive distributor for its Liviau conference control platform throughout the UK and Ireland.

Liviau R for conference room control applications, now with integrated Skype, YouTube and MirrorOp streaming software in addition to its high definition audio capabilities and the integrated services necessary for a conference room control platform. A second version, Liviau S with the Spotify app, is aimed at bars, clubs, retail, houses of worship and corporate applications. Liviau S offers the audio functionality of Liviau R, but with enhanced video and lighting capabilities including the Video Scheduler which enables scheduling and playback of video, lighting cues and effects from stored sources or the internet. A fully integrated DMX controller for lighting control plus a programmable lighting mixer complete the package.

‘It’s a perfect fit for us,’ says CUK MD, Stuart Thomson. ‘A very large part of our business is now in the commercial A/V, conferencing and corporate markets, so Liviau slots right in. Furthermore, I’m genuinely impressed by the product – a lot of thought has gone into its conception, and there is nothing else like it on the market today at such an attractive price point.

‘At CUK we pride ourselves on being able to offer innovative solutions to our clients, and Liviau fits right into that category of interesting, versatile and truly useful, problem-solving products that we are very pleased to have in our portfolio,’ continued Thomson. ‘I can see so many potential applications for it in the kinds of jobs we do, I’m really looking forward to presenting it to our customers.’

‘CUK Audio is now one of the premier distribution companies in the UK, and as Stuart points out, our target markets coincide on virtually every level, so it’s a very good match,’ says Apex’s Paul Van Hees. ‘I am confident that Stuart and his team of dedicated and experienced A/V professionals will quickly be able to exploit the potential of Liviau and turn it into commercial success for all concerned.’

CUK has already taken delivery of its first shipment of Liviau devices, and is preparing to hit the ground running.
