Connected Distribution has secured exclusive UK distribution rights to the Acurus range of home cinema electronics.
Acurus, a brand of Indy Audio Labs based in Indianapolis USA, produces two immersive audio processors, an eight-channel power amplifier, plus a five and seven channel power amp.
Indy Audio Labs has also created its own room tuning system called ASPEQT (Automatic Speaker Parameter Equalisation Tool). The tool enables room and loudspeaker interactions to be tuned to achieve the desired response curve. Installers will be able to purchase their own ASPEQT kit or make use of a loan kit from Connected Distribution for use during the set-up process.
Mike Bonnette, product director at Connected Distribution, said: “Adding the Acurus products to our range of brands is the perfect companion for the recently acquired Aurea cinema brand.
“The combination of this class-leading, and much sought after, electronics brand and Aurea’s speakers enables us to offer our existing and new customers an absolutely state of the art cinema experience for them to specify for their clients.”
Rick Santiago, CEO of Indy Audio Labs, said: “Partnering with Connected Distribution marks a huge milestone for our company and enables world-class sales and support for our rapidly growing customer base in the UK market. Connected Distribution has deep experience in supplying and supporting state-of-the art immersive cinemas. Their product and project support experience is second to none. We're truly excited to expand our efforts in the UK through Connected Distribution.”
Connected Distribution’s cinema installation concept is based around the premise of a “Cinema In The Home”, not a home cinema. Installers will shortly be able to bring their customers to Connected Distribution’s Cheltenham offices to experience the concept in a dedicated “Cinema In The Home” demonstration facility.
