"When I first heard the demo of the New Generation products from APG, I was blown away," says Cuevas. "The natural-sounding acoustics, endless headroom, precise electronics and excellent build quality... let's take, for example, the SMX15 wedges: frankly, I've never heard such quality from a monitor, I sincerely think that this is one of the best stage monitors in the world - and subsequent comparisons with other brands confirmed my opinion. DX12 and DX15 exhibit the same excellent sound quality for continuity throughout the range.
"As for Uniline, I thought that line array systems held no more surprises for me, as I work with line array systems of all shapes, sizes and flavours every day," continues Cuevas, "but when I heard Uniline - wow! The sonic quality and once again the seemingly limitless headroom, but also a feeling of space and sound reproduction that is faithful to the source along with huge SPLs when required with absolutely no distortion - in a word, impressive. I'm delighted to be representing APG in Spain where, despite the worst economic crisis in our history, we still manage to put on over 150,000 concerts per year. There is always something going on in Spain, so the demand is there. In my opinion, now that APG is here in Spain, they're here to stay - they have everything going for them, and I intend to make it a success."
APG international business development director, Xavier Pion, adds, "Juan Antonio is known and respected by all the major players in the pro audio market in Spain, from rental companies to sound engineers to the artists themselves. Despite the difficult economic situation in Spain, as Juan Antonio rightly points out, there is still nevertheless a demand for pro audio services and equipment, and we are both convinced that APG has a huge potential in the Spanish market. Personally, I can't think of a better ambassador for us in Spain than Juan Antonio, and we're all looking forward to reaping the results."
