The move is the latest in a continuing strategy to strengthen Optocore's profile in the key broadcast, theatre and touring markets following the launch earlier this year of the SANE (Synchronous Audio Network plus Ethernet) digital audio networking protocol.
Optocore's international sales manager, Mike Case stated: "We are delighted to be teaming up with such a professional company as TM Audio. As part of the Ampco Flashlight Group they are a highly-renowned and respected company, who have been a predominant force in all our key markets over a number of years.
"Given the current economic circumstances it is highly encouraging to receive such a high-level commitment."
The Dutch distributors' sales & marketing manager, Rudolf Nagtzaam, responded: "TM Audio took on Optocore as a valuable add-on to our portfolio, which consists of brands such as Allen & Heath, DiGiCo, Martin Audio, Renkus Heinz, ASL Intercom, Shure and Powersoft. The Optocore product will enable us to offer even more complete audio systems and packages for a wide range of customers and projects.
"Optocore's forward-thinking philosophy and products are perfectly matched with our people and products, and will help TM Audio improve our already well-known reputation in the digital domain."
The first public showing for the new partnership will be at the Theatre Technology Trade Fair (Vakbeurs Theatertechniek) at the Ahoy Rotterdam (January 17-20) followed by ISE Amsterdam in February.
