Trantec's legendary radio microphone systems include the award winning S5000 and most recently the acclaimed S6000 with its advanced, user-friendly features, all of which have been specifically designed for the professional user. Other Trantec products, including the S10 Soundfield system and PT1 Personal Trainer, offer solutions for leisure, conferencing, education and ecclesiastical markets.
Farmingdale, NY-based Group One's appointment follows shortly after Trantec's S6000 made its mark in the US, scooping an EDDY Award in the category of 'Best New Sound Product' in 2004 shortly after its introduction to the marketplace. Trantec complements Group One's existing portfolio of audio products, which includes Celestion, MC2 Audio, Optocore and XTA. Group One's Tom Bensen said: "We're thrilled to have been appointed to handle the US distribution for the Trantec range. The company is recognized for innovation and pushing the boundaries of technical achievement. The S6000 is really exceptional and has already been positively received by designers and rental companies. The three main theatrical hire companies have expressed their desire to use the system on some major up coming productions, both on Broadway and on National tours."
Trantec's range similarly complements Paris-based Best Audio's portfolio. As the exclusive representative for Meyer Sound in France, the company is well placed to augment Trantec's market share across theatre, broadcast and leisure applications. Best Audio's Sebastien Nicolas commented: "There is huge potential for Trantec's range in France. At the recent SIEL show in Paris, the positive feedback from hire companies and installers was staggering and bodes well for the future."
Trantec's managing director, Sho Kubo added: "We are confident that the appointment Group One and Best Audio will open new country markets for us and help us develop even further our product range. Underlining that Trantec is looking to compete and win market share, through developing initiative, advanced and cost effective audio equipment making us the true choice of professionals."
