Audio Agent and Royer Microphones Attack Northeast

Sales and Marketing Organization Named Exclusive Northeastern US Sales Representatives for Industry-Leading Ribbon Microphone Brand

July 10, 2008 - Audio Agent has been named exclusive sales representatives for the northeastern US by Royer Labs. The industry-leading ribbon microphone manufacturer appointed Audio Agent to increase contact with its current dealer network and expand further into the live sound market.

“I’ve been a strong advocate of Royer mics ever since I started selling them in New York 10 years ago,” exclaimed Blue Wilding, Audio Agent’s Eastern US Sales Manager. “Royer mics are indispensable when recording instruments or room ambience, giving you an undeniably clear, natural, punchy sound. And with Royer’s stellar reputation in the industry, it’s a privilege to be representing products of this caliber.”

Royer mics have become legendary throughout the high-end recording community and are universally praised for their sound and craftsmanship by the industry’s top professionals. With the recent release of the even more durable Live Series ribbons (live versions of their R-121, R-122 and SF-24 models), Royer is bringing its trademark clarity to the live sound market.

“The new opportunities in live sound were a large factor in our decision to go with an independent rep firm,” explained John Jennings, Royer VP Sales and Marketing. “We didn’t make this decision lightly, but knew we had to be proactive as possible to launch these new products. We feel Audio Agent understands our company and shares our passion for recording. They’ll get the word out.”

Audio Agent Appointed National Sales Managers for Secrets of the Pros Instructional DVDs

Sales and Marketing Organization Helps Industry-Leading Instructional DVD Series Reach More Aspiring Musicians, Engineers and Producers

July 1, 2008 - Audio Agent LLC has been appointed as US national sales management and NE sales representatives for industry-leading instructional DVD creators Secrets of the Pros, Inc. Founded by musician / engineer Ken Walden in 2004, Secrets of the Pros reveals expert audio production, music recording and performance techniques in a series of best-selling DVDs.

“There are dozens of instructional videos on the market for aspiring engineers and producers, but none of them are as comprehensive and helpful as the Secrets of the Pros series DVDs,” offered Tom Menrath, Audio Agent’s VP of Brand Management. “I’ve known and respected (Secrets of the Pros founder) Ken Walden for years, and he’s taken great care to distill his accumulated knowledge into these ‘best-in-class’ videos.”

“Like never before, the tools required to make well-produced recordings are available to just about anyone,” explained Walden. “However, most people have a limited knowledge of the tried-and-true techniques used by most top engineers. With Secrets of the Pros, we explain these fundamentals in ways that our viewers understand. Now, Audio Agent will help us take the next step, raising awareness for our videos and helping them reach a wider audience.”

The first Secrets of the Pros DVD title, Modern Recording and Mixing, was released in 2004 to universal acclaim. The subsequent Pro Tools DVDs Volume 1, 2 & 3 offer quick, affordable ways to learn to use Pro Tools like a pro. The most recent release, Master Drummer: featuring Dennis Chambers, takes viewers into a world-class studio with one of the most talented drummer / bass players alive. It’s a title that any musician should watch.
