UK - Following the decision of brand-holder Andrew Hunt to take the sales and marketing of Matrix amplifiers into his new manufacturing company, Clive Kinton has left the firm he jointly founded with Hunt in 1995. Tony O'Neill also left the company earlier this year for family reasons.

"We have over the last eight years, steadily built the Matrix brand to be a major player in the amplifier field but production has always been a challenge. Andrew feels he has solved the problems with his latest factory and wants to optimize the profit in what is a very competitive market," said Kinton at the launch of his new sound company - Meteor Electronics.

Meteor Electronics is a specialist sound distribution company and is working closely with several manufacturers on new and developing products. A lightweight, class D amplifier range including speaker modules will be available shortly under the Meteor brand and negotiations have been completed with a world-class loudspeaker manufacturer on a range of units for the MI sector.(Sarah Rushton-Read)
