OOO Sovremenniye Tekhnologiyi Zvuka (STZ) has been appointed exclusive distributor for object-based immersive audio specialist Astro Spatial Audio (ASA) in the Russian Federation.

Among the country’s leading live entertainment technology suppliers, STZ will bring the full suite of ASA technologies to Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Kirghizia. A prominent provider of A/V solutions for theatres, concert halls, sports venues and other large public or private spaces, STZ already distributes highly respected brands including Black-Cam, Brähler, Clear-Com and Stage Tec.

ASA’s Sara II Premium Rendering Engine offers a robust and scalable, easy-to-operate object-based immersive audio for live entertainment. Additionally, STZ will represent the 20mm accuracy of Stagetracker II under the Astro Spatial Tracking brand.

‘ASA is without any parallel in Russia,’ says STZ Sales Manager, Sergey Surov. ‘Its ability to be easily integrated into both new and existing venues is undoubtedly a major advantage. We believe that it will rapidly be considered an extremely interesting creative tool for a wide range of applications, so we are proud to represent the brand, and to bring it to as broad an audience as possible.’

Following the appointment, STZ is bringing ASA solutions to a number of high-profile projects and is planning to host presentations, workshops and system showcases in its own demo room, while maintaining close contact with key decision makers in the local market.

‘STZ has a great team and an impressive footprint in a number of our key sectors,’ says Astro Spatial Audio Director, Bjorn van Munster. ‘We are very enthusiastic about working together to grow awareness of Astro Spatial Audio in the Russian Federation in the months and years ahead.’
