August 2009 - British audio manufacturer Audient expands its distribution in the US with a new partnership with FDW-Worldwide, following a strong period of sales in the US. A relatively new company that has turned heads with its rapid development as a distributor in the Americas, FDW-Worldwide adds the entire range of Audient and LA Audio products - including the flagship ASP8024 and the newly released Zen console - to its already impressive list of distributed lines including Milab, Violet Design and Sontronics.

President of FDW-Worldwide, Buzz Goodwin is very pleased with the agreement. "Adding such a prestigious line such as Audient to our portfolio of exclusively distributed product for North America and Canada is a huge win for us," he says. "This is a very high quality line of British analogue consoles and outboard gear whose time has come and we are happy to play a part in its on-going success."

Luke Baldry, Sales & Marketing Director confirms: "Following on from a fantastic period of trading in the US market, we knew how important it was to provide a robust distribution structure to enable the Audient brand to grow further in this territory. With FDW-Worldwide, we believe we have found a company who can deliver – both metaphorically and literally."

Based in Madison WI, FDW-Worldwide prides itself on being one of the leading suppliers of professional audio and pro touring products in the US, providing high quality products with a strong emphasis on customer service. After joining FDW-Worldwide as president in January 2009, Buzz Goodwin has led the expansion of the company with a marked increase in the number of products offered to an expanding customer base.

Together with FDW-Worldwide, Audient plans to further develop its presence in the US studio and education markets promoting existing products as well as the recently released Zen console, whilst looking ahead to reinforcing its position in the US with the release of a number of significant products over the next few years.
