Klotz Communications has appointed Pacific Live Media as its new partner for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Pacific Live Media will be responsible for all sales and support activities for Klotz Communications’ complete product range including the recently launched DC 3 console and Touchstone controller.

‘Chris [Dredge, Pacific Live Media MD] has been in the radio space in Australia for nearly two decades, and is very familiar with the market place and our technology,’ says Klotz Communications Partner and General Manager, Andre Sauer. ‘We’ve launched a series of products over the past 18 months, which allow our customers to upgrade Vadis systems to the next generation of hardware and software. With his technical expertise and knowledge of the radio industry, Chris is the perfect choice to guide users through this transition. We look forward to working with Chris and his team..

With the recent launch of the DC 3 console and the new DX interface devices, Klotz Communications has a complete suite of products, which are backwards compatible with Vadis systems, and allow a seamless and gradual upgrade without the need for large capital expenditure. The DC 3 control surface allows an in-situ replacement of older DC 2 surfaces, and the DX interfaces take care of the upgrade from IPX/SPX networks to the TCP/IP protocol. The new Vadis G2 engine and its interface cards are compatible with older generation Vadis technology.

‘Klotz product has long been synonymous with quality and reliability – the large installation base and reliability over that period is a testament to the products’ integrity,’ says Dredge. ‘It is an honour to be working with the company in the region, and we look forward to engaging with the radio industry as Klotz partner
