TDA owner Stefan Todeskino says, "These are great amps, delivering a powerful sound, with a superb sounding DSP." Another feature that impressed Todeskino was the flexibility of the I-Tech HD's, enabling them to be used with all speaker types and in various applications. He notes that control is made easy due to Harman HiQnet System Architect software.
Todeskino, who has a strong relationship with Audio Pro for sales and service, explained the decision to purchase Crown. "We started off with a bunch of Micro-Tech 1200's which are still used in some rare applications, and later bought Macro-Techs and I-Techs," stated Todeskino.
At the same time, the company has invested elsewhere in the Harman Professional portfolio, purchasing Soundcraft Vi6 consoles to service regular accounts including Joe Cocker, Scorpions, Willy de Ville, well-known German band Wir sind Helden, Deep Purple, Guano Apes, Sisters of Mercy, Nickelback and The Cure. They also have a roster of industrial and corporate clients, including Panasonic, Daimler Chrysler, Sony and Coca Cola.
Commented Audio Pro product manager, Carsten Peter: "We are delighted that TDA has chosen to continue its long relationship with Crown amplifiers. TDA is an important partner for us, as the company is regarded as one of the best touring and rental companies in Germany. Many international artists and global players in the industry have come to rely on the technical service of the company for their tours, concerts and events."
