Alcons Audio ahs appointed Audio Video Associates (AVA) as its representative for the mid-western plain regions of the US, including Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and southern Illinois.

Headed by Ben Shipman, AVA is one of the premier firms in the region, representing other well-respected brands such as DiGiCo consoles: ‘I have known the AVA team for some time, and they are one of the best in the business,’ says David Rahn, Alcons North American Sales Director. ‘They excel at product demonstrations, and their customer base respects the work they do and the services they provide.

‘Having laid a good foundation of top-level dealers, and now with the consultant support growing and production market coming online, we are garnering interest from the best rep firms around the nation. It is truly a testimonial to the technology and product and the work we have done here in the US to establish Alcons Audio as a leader in the high-end loudspeaker market.’

‘It is very rare that a product or company comes along that, in a high-end part of the market, can immediately establish itself at the top of that segment,’ adds AVA Principle,  Ben Shipman. ‘The Pro Ribbon systems sound amazing and the exceptional power handling of the pro-ribbon driver means there’s a lot of upside for customers. We’ve already had a fantastic response from our clients and have some great projects in the pipeline.’

Alcons Audio offers a wide variety of systems and covers a number of vertical markets including theatre/PAC, HOW, live production and the cinema market.
