The most prestigious accolade was presented to Audio-Technica in Germany, which was declared 'Distributor of the Year'. The award recognises the best overall performance by an international distributor during Allen & Heath's 2007 fiscal year, and was presented to the company's product manager, Markus Sinsel, by Allen & Heath's sales director, Bob Goleniowski, at a ceremonial dinner hosted during the show.
Konsbud Audio in Poland received the award for 'Most Improved Territory in Europe', Stagecraft Intl in The Philippines was awarded 'Most Improved Territory in Asia', and 'Most Improved Territory in The Americas' went to Sonotec in Peru.
"We are extremely pleased with the effort our distributors have made over our fiscal year, particularly the way they have embraced, introduced and supported the new iLive digital system to their territory. We are proud to honour their achievements with these awards," commented Allen & Heath's sales director, Bob Goleniowski.
At this year's show, Allen & Heath launched the new ZED range of 2 and 4 bus USB-equipped mixers, the Xone:42 USB DJ mixer, Xone:2D MIDI controller/soundcard, and new developments in the iLive digital mixer system.
