The appointment was confirmed by the manufacturer's business development manager, Claus Renner, at PLASA07, where Marquee was presenting the digital Variodyn D1 system.
AV Digital was created in the year 2000 out of the former AV-TS division of Siemens Austria, who have accumulated widespread knowledge of highly complex sound systems, especially in the field of public address and conference technology, over a long period of time.
The Variodyn D1 allows processing, distribution and permanent control of near limitless functions and tasks. The system modules, each with its own DSP, can be connected via Ethernet and standard cabling, while existing local area networks may be shared. At the same time the processing capacity of the system can be increased as new modules are added.
"We have 85 distributors throughout the world but this is our first entry into the UK market," said Renner. "We needed to select the right partner and knew immediately that Marquee Audio had the profile we were looking for to market our range of alarm and security systems."
Said Marquee Audio sales director, Andy Huffer, "The Variodyn D1 uses standard networking technology to easily create a complex, multi-zone audio system, but with all the necessary functional requirements of a voice evacuation system as well, in the box. This is exactly the kind of product we are looking for."
