INDIA: India’s professional audio landscape has just turned up the volume, as Vardhaman Mega Tech (VMT) announced its exclusive distribution partnership with acclaimed UK-based manufacturer Linea Research. The move is set to further strengthen VMT’s already formidable portfolio of high-end audio brands, giving Indian rental, touring and install markets access to some of the world’s most trusted amplification and DSP technologies.

Martin Hildred, Sales and Marketing Director for Linea Research, confirmed the appointment. “VMT is a well-respected and established distributor operating throughout India with strengths in all the markets Linea Research operates in, including both touring and installation. With teams and satellite offices across the country, linked closely to its Head Office in Mumbai, VMT can quickly provide Linea Research customers with the level of support we expect for them, in all regions nationwide.”

VMT Director, Jeff Mandot, commented, “We are proud to add the exclusive distribution rights to Linea Research to our professional audio portfolio. The brand, which is trusted by professionals in touring, fixed installations, and premium venues, strengthens our offering and demonstrates our commitment to delivering world-class technology. Recognised globally for the innovative design and manufacture of advanced amplifiers, DSP platforms, and networked audio solutions, Linea Research is known for its products that deliver exceptional clarity, reliability, and efficiency. The full range is now available exclusively through our network.”

VMT will receive the full support of Generation AV, who manage the distribution of the Focusrite Group products throughout Asia. At the recent APAC distribution summit held in Singapore, VMT were recognised with the Distributor of the Year award for the third consecutive year.

Generation AV Managing Director, Dave McKinney, said, “This is exciting for Linea. They are the perfect match for the other brands in VMT’s distribution range and in terms of both sales and service, Linea Research could not be in better hands.”

Martin Hildred commented, “With the recent launch of System Engineer 8 which adds an extra dimension of intuitive control to our comprehensive range of power amplifiers, this is a great time to extend our reach with the support of such a highly regarded distributor.”
