Following the inauguration last year of EM Acoustics North America, the British loudspeaker manufacturer has appointed Canadian company Contact Distribution as its distributor for the whole of Canada and also to work with a number of contacts in the US.

‘Contact Distribution is a leading pro audio distributor in Canada with nearly 30 years of specialist pro audio knowledge and experience,’ says EM Acoustics Operations Director, Mike Wheeler. ‘The company has developed a product portfolio based on quality – that is both quality of the products and the quality of the relationships with the people behind the products. Our partnership is a testament both to the quality of EM Acoustics products and Contact’s continued desire to strive for something more than others are delivering. We feel that our two companies complement each other perfectly and look forward to building our business together in Canada.’

 ‘There are far too many speaker manufacturers out there in the market that regrettably are mediocre in performance, unprofitable and involve passionless individuals that lack the commitment that professional speaker manufacturing mandates,’ says Contact Distribution Director, Bill Coons. ‘Ed [Kinsella] and Mike [Wheeler] are the real deal, and you can tell that the minute you hear their products and even more so when you meet or talk to them. In the top echelon of the performance speaker market EM has already carved itself a foundation of significant iconic venue installs as well as the support of equally iconic consultants and sound designers.

‘EM in a number of countries are now considered one of the top four hi performance loudspeaker brands and we see it quickly being accepted to the same degree throughout North America. EM Acoustics will be a beneficial addition to our portfolio.’
