Earthworks Appoints Audio Brands as Contractor Distributor in Australia and New Zealand

	Jeff Shoesmith and Don McConnell of Audio Brands Australia

Earthworks announces its appointment of Audio Brands as the distributor for its installed sound microphone line in Australia and New Zealand.

The installation range includes choir mics, gooseneck mics, as well as mics designed to be mounted into conference tables or ceilings. The latest additions to the installed sound line include gooseneck and boundary microphones, which are available with the LumiComm Touch Ring -- a dual-color LED with touch sensor output seamlessly integrated into the microphone, which is operated by a media control system.

Don McConnell, director of Audio Brands Australia, commented: "Earthworks enjoys a reputation as being a leader in microphone technology and we're very pleased to introduce their new installation line."

Jeff Shoesmith, sales engineer from Audio Brands Australia added: "Many installation mics offer decent on-axis frequency response, but behave quite differently as little as half way into their published pickup angle, particularly in the higher octave bands. Earthworks microphones are true to their specification and offer a much wider usable pickup angle without spotlighting. This uniform polar behavior also provides much greater gain before feedback. If you're a designer who appreciates the importance of quality sound, we encourage you to compare Earthworks installed sound microphones with your current favorites, you will experience performance you never thought possible in an installed mic form factor."

Heidi Blackmer Robichaud, president and CEO of Earthworks added: "We are thrilled about the appointment of Audio Brands Australia. Their experience within the installation market will make them excellent partners in promoting Earthworks' technically advanced and problem solving installed sound products."

The Earthworks installed sound line redefines the benchmark for installation microphones. All are made in the USA and come with a 15-year warranty.

With Audio Brands Australia now carrying the Earthworks installed sound products line, joining Audio Chocolate the company's long-standing Pro Audio products distributor in Australia, the company says Earthworks is now represented by well-established and knowledgeable distributors in these separate market segments.

Audio Brands Australia will be exhibiting at Integrate in Sydney, Australia August 26-28 at stand C97.
