"We are very excited to start this adventure with such a high quality brand that perfectly fit into our portfolio complementing and completing our offer," says Leading Technologies' CEO Marco Porro. "The addition of Audient products will help expand our reach into high tech audio across the country," he adds, citing the fact that the majority of the British manufacturer's products feature the renowned mic preamps designed by industry heavyweight, David Dearden.
With nearly 40 years of experience in the pro audio industry, Leading Technologies is a family company which provides a technical design and consultation service for integrated sound systems, broadcast and live projects, as well as running exclusive distribution of a number of high-end brands in Italy.
Audient's Simon Blackwood says, "The company is in a strong position to provide knowledgeable, technical support for the brand and Audient will benefit hugely from Leading Technologies' wide distribution channel through Italy. We're very pleased with the new partnership."
Funky Junk Italy continues to look after Audient's console sales in the territory.
