Calrec Audio has appointed Decibel as exclusive distributor for Switzerland, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.

Highlighting Calrec’s Brio digital broadcast audio console, the company will represent the full line of Calrec Audio solutions to broadcast customers throughout these territories. ‘Brio is a truly groundbreaking solution that promises to be a big success throughout our service area,’ says Decibel MD, Jean-Pascal Ruch. ‘As in many markets around the world, our broadcast customers are always on the lookout for a full-featured and robust audio desk that is also well-priced and easy to use.’

Based in Vevey, Switzerland, Decibel has provided professional audio solutions and products for more than 20 years and represents more than 30 pro audio brands. The company’s extensive local market knowledge and multilingual staff cover five regions, speaking five different languages.

‘Decibel is a highly respected and well-established brand in Switzerland and North Africa, and Jean-Pascal is well-known by broadcasters in those markets,’ says Calrec International Sales Manager, Florent Chaouby. ‘With his 40 years of experience and track record for audio console installations in both radio and television, he knows our market inside and out.

‘The contacts and relationships that Jean-Pascal and his team have built, especially in North Africa, will help us build our presence there. With Brio, Decibel will be able to get access to this exciting new market, and as the territory develops, we can introduce our larger-scale broadcast system solutions to the region.’
