It is a very prestigious name, and perfectly complements our other brands. We had been looking to take on a major loudspeaker range, for the live sound and installed markets, and were attracted to Turbosound for a number of reasons. It has an excellent reputation in the audio industry, and its product ranges address our market areas very well."

Audiopole's sole focus is on the professional audio market. The company has an annual turnover in excess of 12 million euros, and is among the top three pro audio distributors in France.
