EM Acoustics has struck an exclusive distribution agreement for Russia with Hi-Tech Media.

Hi-Tech Media (HTM) opened in 2011 as a reseller for a single brand focused on the congress, conferencing and public address markets. The business has since expanded to become one of the main players in Russia’s A/V market and the leading supplier of A/V equipment in Russia. Representing the interests of more than 40 vendors and working closely with over 600 dealers throughout Russia and CIS, HTM continues to strengthen its distribution portfolio with modern solutions to satisfy partners’ project needs.

‘EM Acoustics systems sound amazing; incredibly accurate, responsive, and natural with excellent dynamics and great headroom,’ says Professional Audio Systems Brand Manager, Pavel Shemiakin. ‘With EM Acoustics, we can supply our partners with high-performance line array elements that are capable of covering “five-digit” venues. In addition to excellent line array solutions, EM Acoustics has a range of compact systems suitable for everything from small huddle rooms to theatres and congress halls.

‘Hi-Tech Media is expanding its area of expertise and today we have gone far beyond the corporate A/V segment,’ he continues. ‘Together with our partners, we develop solutions for theatres and concert halls, clubs, entertainment facilities, museum and multimedia installations. There are sports facilities and public spaces in our portfolio. Rental companies are another rapidly growing segment of our business. EM Acoustics offers the solutions that are required in these segments and perfectly complements our portfolio. And these are not just good speakers, they are exceptionally high-quality systems.’

‘We’ve been working hard on strengthening our distribution network, and Russia is potentially a huge market, so we’re thrilled to be working with Hi-Tech Media who are already very strong in the corporate market and fast gaining traction on the rental and live entertainment side,’ adds EM Acoustics’ Mike Wheeler. ‘The timing is perfect for us as a brand, and gives HTM the tools they need to address new markets.’
