San Diego, CA — May 15, 2007 —HME – the leader in digital wireless communication solutions for the pro audio industry – recently announced the winners of their prestigious Distributor and Representative of the Year awards.

“The Distributor of the Year and the Representative of the Year awards signify the highest honor we can bestow on any company,” said John Kowalski, Sales Manager of HME‘s Pro Audio Division. “The recipients were selected for their overall annual results and the extra effort they made to reach those results including their work with end-users, dealers, consultants and other industry professionals.”

Gerr Audio, recipient of the “Distributor of the Year” award, continued their tradition of providing innovative solutions for the broadcast, theatrical and industrial markets in Canada. Thanks to their effort and dedication to professional service, HME wireless communications products are the standard for the Canadian pro audio user.

Best Audio, recipient of the “Representative of the Year” award, helped HME reach the forefront of wireless users in the Southern California and Nevada territory. “Larry Estrin of Best Audio continuously went beyond the call of duty – assisting not only clients and dealers in his own territory, but in other territories as well,” comments Kowalski. “He (Larry) was an important factor in the success of Madonna‘s 2006 worldwide tour when HME was chosen to support their production communications.”

Recipients of HME‘s annual Pro Audio awards receive trophies and recognition among their peers for their stellar performance and effort to go beyond the call of duty. Currently, HME has 17 representatives in the United States and over 30 distributors worldwide.
