Cadac Appoints New Iberian Distributor

	Soinue's Anselmo Calleja and Jorge De La Torre with the CDC eight digital sound touring console.

Cadac recently appointed Soinua Pro as its new distributor for Spain and Portugal. The appointment sees Cadac switch its distribution to the Basque-based sound touring and installation specialist, headquartered precisely between Bilbao and San Sebastián.

Commenting on the decision to switch distribution to Soinua, Cadac brand development manager Richard Ferriday says, "It was a strategic decision in order to more effectively focus our distribution on the live production sector. This is where Soinua is especially strong, being heavily involved with sound touring and live event production throughout Spain."

Commenting for Soinua, general manager Jorge De La Torre states, "The aim of our company is not to carry an expansive range of brands but to have a highly select and complementary portfolio of products, chosen purely on the basis of quality. We were looking for a key high-end mixer manufacturer to partner other represented marques like Lab Gruppen and TWAUDiO. We wanted a brand where we can believe 'this really works' and with a good team of professional people behind it. Cadac was a perfect fit."

"The touring and installation markets are very important for us. The CDC four -- and in the near future, the CDC eight -- will serve very important clients extremely well for ST, event, installation, and theatre sound applications."

Already the company has scored successes with sales of both the digital CDC four and analogue LIVE1 compact consoles. Most recently Soinua has supplied a CDC four for front-of-house on the reformation tour by leading Basque rockers Lin Ton Taun. The tour, marking the band's reformation after a ten year hiatus, is currently playing across the Basque region before going national in the summer and throughout the rest of the year. The CDC four was chosen after Soinua demonstrated its sonic quality. "The CDC four was chosen for the quality of the EQ and the pre-amplifier section, along with the 96kHz operation," explain Soinua technical managers, Anselmo Calleja and Eneko Larrañaga. "With 16 channels using pre-amps of that quality it was all that was needed. It was all down to the sound quality of the desk; the compact form and the portability was an additional bonus."
