Shaped Music Goes with FBTNestled in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in north central Colorado is an a audio industry gem. Shaped Music of Fort Collins, Colorado is situated two miles west of Fort Collins historic "Old Town" district, which is fabled to be the inspiration for Disney World's "Main Street USA." Shaped Music has been a landmark there for several decades and has provided it's talents to virtually every aspect of the pro audio community of the Rocky Mountains and beyond. Today, Shaped Music has essentially split itself into several discreet, though overlapping, parts. Owner Rich Werdes describes this move as such, "We understand that our customers have varied needs, so we have divided and streamlined our efforts in order to provide the best and most comprehensive service to all our clients and their varying needs." To that end, Randy Croissant manages Shaped Music retail sales, the rental department, and backline production, whereas Werdes mainly manages their production and installation efforts. Their efforts operate independently, though under the same roof, a roof that covers a huge warehouse on LaPorte Avenue in Fort Collins. It is unique how Shaped Music sees one market segment as no less important than any other and devote equal resources to each. Shaped Music has elected to carry FBT products for what the company says is "the line's broad diversity of offerings coupled with incredible sound and performance fits the needs of virtually all customers." Shaped Music has also installed several FBT systems at numerous local venues, including nearby Colorado State University. "From our local school district clients to professional musicians, all of our customers recognize the superior definition of sound they get from FBT products. They can absolutely hear and appreciate the difference between FBT and other products," states Croissant. "We are honored to have Shaped Music as our partner. It's rare to find a partner as well versed and well represented in all elements of our marketplace. They cover retail, production, and installation with equal strength and enthusiasm and we are fortunate to have a line of products that fit all their needs," says John Krupa of Italian Speaker Imports, the exclusive importer of FBT in the USA.
