Outline Seals the Deal with Top European Distribution Operation Outline s.r.l, the Italian manufacturers of loudspeaker systems and associated technologies for professional audio, announces the appointment of The Audio Specialists b.v. as their exclusive distribution partners for Benelux and Germany, with immediate effect. TAS is the brainchild and property of former E-Audio Benelux managing director Axel Nagtegaal, under whom the company achieved spectacular results for a number of leading pro-audio brands in Benelux, including Midas, Klark Teknik, Electro-Voice, and others. Nagtegaal and his team reportedly pioneered the concept of "service hatch" distribution in pro-audio, in which a territorial distributor effectively becomes the local office for the manufacturer(s) it represents. Nagtegaal says: "The Outline product portfolio contains a whole raft of innovative and relevant technologies that really make it so much more than just another 'me-too' brand. The MiniCompass system, as just one example, is simply brilliant in its approach to dealing with challenging acoustic spaces. In fact, the whole Outline product range is packed with clever and practical ideas for solving everyday sound reinforcement problems. Needless to say we will be providing a full pre-and-post-sales service for all categories of pro-audio customers, including extensive demonstration capabilities for the whole Outline range, as well as flexible finance packages for qualifying professional rental companies." Chris Hinds, Outline's sales director for Europe, said, 'Outline has so much potential in so many markets, we just need first-class distribution partners to help us realize those possibilities. We are very lucky indeed to have secured the services of someone whom many consider to be the best pro-audio distributor in Europe, especially when that partnership covers such important territories.
