Optocore GmbH, the pioneers of optical digital fibre network systems, have appointed TM Audio as their new exclusive distributor in the Netherlands.

The move is the latest in a continuing strategy to strengthen Optocore’s profile in the key broadcast, theatre and touring markets following the launch earlier this year of the new ground-breaking SANE (Synchronous Audio Network plus Ethernet) digital audio networking protocol.

Stated Optocore’s International Sales Manager, Mike Case, “We are delighted to be teaming up with such a professional company as TM Audio. As part of the Ampco Flashlight Group they are a highly-renowned and respected company, who have been a predominant force in all our key markets over a number of years.

“Given the current economic circumstances it is highly encouraging to receive such a high-level commitment.”

The Dutch distributors’ Sales & Marketing Manager, Rudolf Nagtzaam, responded, “TM Audio took on Optocore as a valuable add-on to our portfolio, which consists of brands such as Allen & Heath, DiGiCo, Martin Audio, Renkus Heinz, ASL Intercom, Shure and Powersoft. The Optocore product will enable us to offer even more complete audio systems and packages for a wide range of customers and projects.

“Optocore's forward-thinking philosophy and products are perfectly matched with our people and products, and will help TM Audio improve our already well-known reputation in the digital domain.”

The first public showing for the new partnership will be at the Theatre Technology Trade Fair (Vakbeurs Theatertechniek) at the Ahoy Rotterdam
(January 17-20) followed by ISE Amsterdam (February 2-4).
