Optocore has appointed Soundware as its distributor for Denmark.
The Risskov-based company, which represents a portfolio of leading studio, broadcast, theatre and live pro audio brands, is confident that Optocore will fit well into a catalogue that already includes DiGiCo, ClearCom, Direct Out among others: ‘Optocore has a first-class pedigree in the distribution of audio, IP intercom and video,’ says Soundware Pro Audio Manager, Kim Johansen, who had personally encountered and used Optocore systems over the years, but felt the brand’s potential was not being fully realised.
The German manufacturer also believes it has found the ideal partner: ‘We chose Soundware due to their knowledge of the broadcast, fixed install and live performance markets in Denmark as well as their experience and reputation,’ confirms International Sales & Marketing Manager, Mark Davidson.
One obvious synergy between Optocore and Soundware is that Optocore can be integrated with major brands including DiGICo, Studer, Lawo, ClearCom and Neumann, while SSL, Studer and DiGiCo desks also control Optocore preamps.
As a result, Kim Johansen welcomes the prospect offered by Optocore: ‘Although Optocore has long been a leader in fibre-optic solutions, by recently extending its core area to the Cat5 Sane protocol – enabling devices to be made into an optical ring while having a small side network running Sand – the possibilities are greatly increased.
-Having high-quality products to offer to our clients is a keystone in our business,’ Johansen adds. ‘We deal directly with rental houses and broadcast facilities which all need and expect the best. And with brands like Optocore on board we endeavour to provide them with precisely that.’
Soundware already has Optocore demo racks containing DD2FR, DD4MR, X6R-FX and X6R-TP network interfaces and will be undertaking OCT training in due course.
