HAMPSHIRE, U.K. — Audient and Sontronics have a new distribution partnership in the U.K. A new entity, Audient-Sontronics UK, will provide joint support for end users overseen by Audient’s U.K. sales manager, Gareth Williams (pictured, left), and centralized warehousing at Audient’s Hampshire headquarters.

“This is an extremely exciting move for us,” said Sontronics MD Trevor Coley. “We have experienced amazing growth worldwide over the last few years and this new partnership with Audient will help us further strengthen Sontronics in the UK.
“We have always had great support from our British users, and we are now thrilled to be in a position to provide them with a more direct and enhanced service,” Coley added. “The fact that we now have a dedicated sales manager in Gareth also means we can keep our UK dealers up-to-date with our newest products and projects, and offer them in-depth training. We’re also planning various events around the country to give musicians the chance to get hands-on with the full range of Sontronics and Audient products.”
“We’re really looking forward to working closely with the Sontronics team to increase the opportunity for users to experience the quality and value offered by these microphones,” said Audient sales and marketing director Luke Baldry. “Many of the Audient staff already own and use Sontronics mics, so we have first-hand knowledge of how great the range is. Sontronics offers the perfect match to our own consoles and preamps, so we’re looking forward to offering this combination to our customers.”
