Grand opening of our new U.S. office!

January 4, 2009, Santa Barbara, CA: Australia-based Sound and Music, parent company of the SM Pro Audio and Violet Audio brands of music and audio equipment for the recording, live, and installed sound markets, today announced the grand opening of their new U.S. office. The move is designed to provide North American retailers with prompt and convenient order fulfillment, direct communication with sales and support personnel, and easy access to a broad range of training programs.

Founded by Danny Olesh and John Fuller, long-time distributors of top-tier MI products in Australia, SM Pro Audio features “clever audio solutions” developed by Danny and John to solve problems they saw their customers encounter as they wrestled with DAWs, interfaces, and tangles of cables. Ten years and 50 SKUs later, the line runs the gamut from stand-alone VSTi players to studio controllers to multifunction mixer/mic preamp/DIs---all of which offer exceptional value and performance for end-users. The Violet Audio product catalog includes studio surround-sound processors and ethernet-linked multichannel audio networks designed for fixed installations, such as schools, concert halls, and houses of worship.

U.S. sales, marketing, and operations for both brands will be handled MV Pro Audio, a company long-associated with unique and trend-setting MI and pro audio hardware and software.
