Alcons Audio has joined forces with independent US rep firm Audio Visual Associates (AVA).

AVA, which covers Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and southern Illinois, is headed up by Ben Shipman (pictured), and represents a number of other major pro audio brands, such as Digico.

“We are thrilled to have AVA join our rep force,” stated David Rahn, Alcons North American sales director. “They are a well-established firm with a deep history in the region. I have known the AVA team for some time and they are one of the best in the business. They excel at product demonstrations, and their customer base respects the work they do and the services they provide.

“We are fortunate to find ourselves in a great position these days. Having laid a good foundation of top-level dealers, and now with the consultant support growing and production market coming online, we are garnering interest from the best rep firms around the nation. It is truly a testimonial to the technology and product and the work we have done here in the US to establish Alcons Audio as a leader in the high-end loudspeaker market.

Shipman commented: “We are really excited about this opportunity. It is very rare that a product or company comes along that, in a high end part of the market, can immediately establish itself at the top of that segment. The ProRibbon systems sound amazing and the exceptional power handling of the pro-ribbon driver means there’s a lot of upside for customers. We’ve already had a fantastic response from our clients and have some great projects in the pipeline.”
