StarTech.com Ltd., a leading manufacturer of audio/video and IT products, today announced a distribution agreement with Toronto, Ontario-based Sounds Distribution. This agreement makes StarTech.com’s comprehensive line of A/V and IT products available to Sound Distribution’s customer base of professionals in the club/DJ, professional audio, stage/rental, lighting and video markets. Initial product offerings will include StarTech.com A/V converters, extenders, switches, splitters and cables. Key products from StarTech.com’s diverse line of IT products will also be available including equipment racks and KVM switches. Sounds Distribution will also be working closely with StarTech.com’s designers and engineers to assist in developing more products and accessories based on feedback from their contractor and retail dealers as well as from designers and end users. “The A/V and IT markets are converging at an extraordinary rate with many professional A/V solutions requiring IT based products and expertise. Our partnership with Sounds Distribution combines their strong relationships in the professional A/V market with our expansive product portfolio and twenty years of experience in the IT industry. This will ultimately benefit the A/V professional by making their job of sourcing products to complete solutions easier,” commented Paul Seed, President of StarTech.com. StarTech.com’s wide product selection will allow A/V professionals to complete specialized solutions quickly and easily through one distributor, rather than having to source from multiple vendors. Sound Distribution customers will also benefit from StarTech.com’s free, live support and the ability to order customized products such as cables for larger scale projects. “Video is our fastest growing segment,” commented Rohan Persaud, President of Sounds Distribution. “We want to provide our customers with complete, end-to-end solutions and the addition of StarTech.com products to our line-up allows us to achieve that. StarTech.com will assist us in meeting our goal of offering products and systems that address the needs of the market.
