In other Exertis Micro-P news, the distributor has signed Audio Pro’s range of home audio loudspeakers.
The hi-fi solutions include wired and wireless products with prices ranging from £199 to £1,300.
Audio Pro’s range works with all music players. Customers can also enjoy any player installed on their computer or portable unit, irrespective of whether the music comes from Spotify, iTunes, Winamp, Wimp, Grooveshark or Rhapsody.
Depending on the model of loudspeaker, features like House Codes enables users to have up to three separate audio networks in their home, using three different transmitters. This enables different music to be listened to in different rooms at the same time, or users can listen to the same music in all rooms.
Meanwhile, MultiRoom and Volume Zone let users divide each House Code into three different volume zones, enabling one volume setting in the living room, another in the kitchen, and a third in the bedroom.
Chris Martin, Audio Business Manager at Exertis Micro-P, commented: "Audio Pro combines the best in Swedish engineering and elegant design to create a range of loudspeakers that simply ooze desirability. The company’s ethos is to offer the best sound at the best price, which ensures that the Audio Pro experience is able to be enjoyed and shared by many. Those are some of the reasons we’re really enthusiastic about these products and are keen to start briefing our resellers and retail partners on the fantastic opportunity they present.”
