German audio network and interconnectivity specialist DirectOut Technologies has appointed Contact Distribution as its Canadian distributor. DirectOut joins the likes of Renkus-Heinz, EM Acoustics, Linea Research, Out Board TiMax and Optocore/BroaMan in the Contact portfolio.

‘Our clients, designers and users as well as our engineers, support staff and products all strive to offer the absolute best in the audio industry,’ says DirectOut CEO and Sales Director, Jan Ehrlich. Our global partners carry on that ideal, and Contact’s 34-year history of servicing the top of the North America pro audio and broadcast industries is a perfect match. Contact’s expertise in digital audio networks and fibre-based solutions is exemplary and the ideal basis to take Prodigy and our entire portfolio to the markets they were created for.’

‘DirectOut products and the people behind the brand are in the rarified air where very few manufactures exist,’ adds Contact Director, Bill Coons. ‘Their precision and quality is virtually unrivalled. The mind-blowing capabilities of Prodigy.MP processor version has now stunned the live production and integration markets in the same way the Prodigy.MC conversion units astonished the global broadcast industry. These models in conjunction with globcon control software are the long-awaited universal solution every high-level audio system any application could ever reliably require.’

Prior to this appointment, in Canada DirectOut has established a solid list of leading edge, critical audio users such as CBC, Cirque du Soleil, Bell Media, Solotech as well as personal use by many of the country’s leading recording producers and engineers.
