The two founders' first-time visit to China is in response to increasing demand for the company's advanced technologies as evidenced by high-profile installations throughout the country. "China has become the world leader in creating imaginative, large-scale entertainment spectaculars," observes John Meyer. "These are among the largest and most sophisticated audio systems anywhere, and we're proud that Meyer Sound technologies are at the core of so many of them."
Extensive systems of Meyer Sound loudspeakers and networked D-Mitri digital audio platforms have been installed recently for the Dai Show in Xishuangbanna, the Han Show in Wuhan, and the 5-D Castle Theatre at the Chimelong International Ocean Resort in Zhuhai.
"China has been the driving force of our continuing growth in the region," states Helen Meyer, executive vice president of the company. "For that reason, we are greatly expanding our presence here in design support, technical support, service and sales, beginning with the addition of new full time staff exclusively to serve this region."
Meyer Sound is exhibiting in partnership with Shanghai Broad Future Electro Technology Co. Ltd, recently appointed as the company's exclusive distributor for China and Macau.
"We are proud to engage in this new relationship," says Tim Boot, Meyer Sound's business development manager, Asia-Pacific. "It's been five years since we established a direct presence in the Chinese market through the creation of Meyer Sound China, and then, we have worked closely with Shanghai Broad Future Electro Technology Co. Ltd to support the professional audio community. This new, higher level of collaboration represents the next step forward."
The partnership's PALM China Expo 2016 stand will feature several new products that debuted this year, including the MJF-208 compact stage monitor with dual 8-inch drivers for increased output in a small form factor. The Galileo Galaxy network platform, a quantum leap forward in the widely heralded line of Galileo loudspeaker management systems, will also be showcased.
