JESSUP, MARYLAND – AUGUST 2011: In keeping with API’s ongoing European success, the company has recently appointed Amptec Professional Sound Solutions as API’s distributor in Belgium.

“The API product line fits Amptec’s portfolio perfectly,” said Dany Meeuwissen, internal sales representative at Amptec, “as we are active in studios and broadcast, as well as live sound. Many live sound engineers already use API 2500s and the new API Channel Strip is quickly becoming equally as popular. The 500 Series is a real industry standard as well as the 1608, appealing to both those with larger recording facilities and those with at-home studios.”

Founded in 1990, Amptec prides itself on providing the sale, service and installation of professional audio equipment to customers in all facets of the industry, including recording studios, broadcast studios and theaters.

“API enjoys a fierce loyalty and committed group of dealers and distributors throughout Europe,” said Gordon Smart, managing director at API. “With the first API Vision console in Europe at Galaxy Studios in Mol, the Belgium market is extremely important to us. We’re excited that, in addition to a full line of API modules available for demo to its clients, Amptec has a 1608 console available for complete demonstration. Having the support of such a professional group enhances our ability to supply and service the entire region.”

“API is widely respected,” Meeuwissen added. “We look forward to supporting both the brand and its customers with the respect they deserve.”
