Decibel to bring Calrec to Switzerland and North Africa

Calrec Audio has signed Decibel as its exclusive distributor in Switzerland, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. With an emphasis on Brio, Calrec’s new, compact digital broadcast audio console, Decibel will represent the full line of Calrec Audio solutions to broadcast customers throughout these territories.

“Brio is a truly groundbreaking solution that promises to be a big success throughout our service area. As in many markets around the world, our broadcast customers are always on the lookout for a full-featured and robust audio desk that is also well-priced and easy to use,” said Jean-Pascal Ruch, managing director, Decibel. “It’s an honour to represent Brio and the other consoles from Calrec Audio, a brand that represents the highest standards in audio mixing consoles for the broadcast industry.”

Based in Vevey, Switzerland, Decibel S.A. has provided professional audio solutions and products for more than 20 years and represents more than 30 pro-audio brands. Decibel’s extensive local market knowledge and multilingual staff are especially valuable in Switzerland, where the company covers five regions speaking five different languages.

“Decibel is a highly respected and well-established brand in Switzerland and North Africa, and Jean-Pascal is well-known by broadcasters in those markets,” said Florent Chaouby, international sales manager, Calrec. “With his 40 years of experience and track record for audio console installations in both radio and television, he knows our market inside and out.

“The contacts and relationships that Jean-Pascal and his team have built, especially in North Africa, will help us build our presence there. With Brio, Decibel will be able to get access to this exciting new market, and as the territory develops, we can introduce our larger-scale broadcast system solutions to the region.”
