Calrec has reached an agreement with D2N Technology Solutions to be its exclusive technology partner and distributor in Australia.
Calrec’s regional sales manager, Robert Davidson, explained, “With D2N, the reasons for the partnership were clear; they understand the importance of customer communication, service and support, which Calrec also values highly. In addition, their enterprising sales and marketing strategies have impressed because they, like us, understand that even a specialist industry like broadcast needs a proactive approach considering the rapidly changing technology landscape. The core values of D2N’s business very much align with Calrec’s.”
Jason Owen, D2N’s managing director, said he sees a direct fit between Calrec’s range of broadcast mixing consoles, remote production and audio networking solutions, its understanding of AoIP and IP infrastructures and the sector’s future, “Audio mixers today do a lot more than just take signals in and send them back out. Now companies like Calrec must cater for local and remote sources, virtualized products and integrate seamlessly into IP workflows. Innovation and change are facts of life in a business like this, and Calrec handles those better than anyone else.”
D2N is now selling and supporting Calrec’s entire range of mixers and IO devices; something Owen said is an enormous plus for the Australian market, “Our ability to understand and support our customers is a real strength. We share that ‘the show must go on’ mindset with Calrec, which is exactly what Calrec’s customer base expects. We also have excellent connections with the vendors that have synergy with Calrec, so, when it comes to solutions, we can deliver a far more comprehensive package than most.”
