DirectOut Expands into the US with New Subsidiary

	Vaino Gennaro

DirectOut launches DirectOut LLC, its wholly owned US subsidiary following recent strong growth and after more than 15 years of presence in the US through its distribution partners.

DirectOut LLC operates as a fully owned subsidiary of DirectOut GmbH but with a high degree of autonomy, the company says, enabling the team to respond quickly to the specific needs of the US professional audio market. The company's new headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana also house its US warehouse, streamlining logistics for customers across the region.

Vaino Gennaro has been appointed managing director of DirectOut LLC and will oversee all US operations.

"The establishment of DirectOut LLC represents a natural, strategic next step for the company," says Gennaro. "Our expanded U.S. presence enables closer customer engagement, reduced delivery times through local warehousing, and the continued expansion of service capabilities, including authorized repair centers nationwide. As part of our long-term growth strategy, additional warehouse locations are already under active evaluation."

Gennaro continues, "The new subsidiary enables DirectOut to provide direct pre-sales, after-sales, and technical support across the Touring, Playback, Integration, and Broadcast markets. With a dedicated engineering team available 24/7, DirectOut LLC strengthens support accessibility and delivers faster, more responsive solutions for partners and customers throughout the United States."

"The United States has long been one of DirectOut's most important and loyal markets," says Luca Giaroli, strategy manager at DirectOut. "With the establishment of DirectOut LLC, we are further strengthening our direct relationships with customers while closely aligning this initiative with our global growth strategy and upcoming expansions within the DirectOut Audio Solutions Ecosystem. This structure allows us to deliver a more tailored, customer-centric experience while remaining fully integrated with DirectOut's global vision."

DirectOut invites partners, customers, and industry professionals to meet the DirectOut LLC team at NAMM 2026 in Anaheim, CA (Booth #18306) and at AES Nashville, Tennessee (February 24-25), providing an opportunity to connect directly with the US organization.
