Linea Research has named Audio-Technica as its distribution partner for Germany and Spain. As part of the Focusrite Audio Reproduction Group, the brand joins an Audio-Technica portfolio that already includes Martin Audio, TiMax and Optimal Audio.
At Audio-Technica Deutschland GmbH, Benedikt Partl adds Linea Research to his brand management responsibilities, while Alex Blanco takes on the same role at Audio-Technica Iberia. Both already work with Martin Audio and TiMax, giving Linea Research’s power amplifier and DSP platforms a route into the two markets through existing sales and support structures.
For live sound and installed audio projects, the appointment gives Audio-Technica a broader package around Martin Audio, TiMax and Linea Research. The practical result is a more consolidated path for customers specifying speaker systems, related spatial audio technology, amplification and DSP through one distribution and support channel.
