Optimal Audio has appointed Allied ProTech as its US distributor.

Optimal Audio manufactures a one-stop solution of controllers, amplifiers and loudspeakers for small-to-medium-sized commercial installations, with a focus on multi-zoned venues. Its streamlined product offering is focused on simple-to-install, high-quality sound systems that can be easily operated by anyone, not just engineers.

‘Optimal Audio is a brand born from great heritage, and its focus on ease of use and installation meets a need we’re seeing from our partners across the US market,’ says Allied ProTech founder, Rik Kirby. ‘We’re excited to be working with them, and we’re looking forward to introducing the Optimal Audio range to our reps and customers at the upcoming InfoComm trade show in Orlando.’

Part of the Focusrite plc group, British brand Optimal Audio is backed by years of engineering experience, global reach and support. Based in Orange County, California, Allied ProTech is a leading Pro Audio and A/V technology distributor working to simplify the challenge of bringing international brands to the US market. By operating as an extension of the brand itself, Allied ProTech is able to provide bespoke support and service to meet the unique requirements of its individual partners.

‘I’ve known Rik for quite some time and value his deep knowledge of the way the US market works,’ says Optimal Audio MD, Dom Harter. ‘He’s held senior management positions with a number of international audio manufacturers where he’s been responsible for sales, marketing, operations and production, so it’s safe to say that he fully understands every aspect of bringing a brand to market. We look forward to working closely with Allied ProTech to establish Optimal Audio as a leading player in the US commercial audio market.’
