USA - Alcons Audio has appointed Taub Sales as its North American representative in the mid-Atlantic territory, which encompasses Virginia, the District of Columbia (Washington, DC), Maryland, Delaware, the southern half of New Jersey and the eastern half of Pennsylvania.
Based in Silver Spring, a few miles north of Washington, DC, Taub Sales was founded by Morton Taub in 1974. Although starting out primarily in the consumer audio business, the company has always had a presence in the professional audio market, switching its full focus to that sector around a decade later. Since the early 1990s, it has sold specialty loudspeakers for the professional live and installed audio markets.
“Alcons Audio pro-ribbon technology is ideal for Taub Sales in two respects,” says Steven, Morton’s son who now heads the business. “The first is that it’s a high-quality solution that is ideal for much of my customer base, including houses of worship, performance spaces and the live concert market. Alcons systems are also ideal for dealers and consultants who work with the corporate theatre market.
“Secondly, Alcons is an excellent fit with how I sell. I specialise in ‘tech-to-English translation’, working best with products where I can clearly explain why a product is the best solution for the needs of a particular application.”
He continues, “Alcons solutions feature unusually accurate performance at low levels, with undistorted sound at high levels; excellent horizontal off-axis performance; tight vertical dispersion where needed with remarkably low loss of both, level over distance and system damping factor over long cable runs.”
David Rahn, Alcons Audio North American sales manager adds, “We are pleased to appoint Taub Sales as an Alcons representative. Steven clearly understands and is enthused by the advantages that our pro-ribbon technology brings to a wide range of sound reinforcement applications. We look forward to working with him and improving the sound for audiences and congregations throughout the mid-Atlantic territory.”
