AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND: Group Technologies Australasia has been appointed as the new exclusive distributor for pioneering in-ear monitor manufacturer JH Audio across Australia and New Zealand, marking a strategically aligned partnership that strengthens professional monitoring options for artists and production professionals in the region.

Operating out of Orlando, Florida, Jerry Harvey Audio has been developing custom, best-in-class IEMs since 1995, building a three-decade legacy rooted firmly in live production, touring and personal monitoring. Today, JH Audio occupies a leading position at the forefront of IEM technology, supplying handcrafted, premium in-ear solutions that have become a staple for serious musicians and industry professionals, regularly appearing on the stages of major music festivals and globally recognised live events.

From Group Technologies’ perspective, the partnership reflects a natural convergence of brand philosophy and technical ambition. Drew Menard, Head of Audio at Group Technologies, commented, “We are delighted to be partnering with JH Audio, a brand that we feel is doing phenomenal work in the IEM sector, and one which is also constructed with an unrivalled craftsmanship. The addition of JH Audio to GT’s portfolio makes for an ideal match, being very much in line with our focus on brands that are each leaders in their respective markets.” The appointment places JH Audio alongside Group Technologies’ established roster of professional audio brands, reinforcing a shared emphasis on performance-led design and long-term market development rather than short-term reach.

JH Audio’s product portfolio spans both custom-moulded and universal-fit in-ear monitors, with every set assembled using proprietary drivers, crossover components and custom finishes. The manufacturer has long described its approach as delivering “the most beautiful sounding earpieces in the world,” underpinned by a substantial body of intellectual property. Over the years, this has resulted in multiple patents covering areas such as phase correction, multi-driver configurations, custom coupler systems and adjustable canalphone architectures, technical differentiators that have helped establish JH Audio as a recognised leader within the professional monitoring market.

Anthony Touma, General Manager at Group Technologies, reinforced the strategic logic behind the partnership, stating, “As part of Group Technologies’ ongoing mission to collaborate with best-in-class manufacturers, we’re excited to announce our partnership with JH Audio. Celebrated for their groundbreaking contributions to In-Ear Monitoring and continued technological leadership in the field, JH Audio embody the same pursuit of uncompromising sound reproduction that we value across the GT portfolio.” This shared focus on sonic accuracy and reliability mirrors JH Audio’s long-standing development philosophy, which has been shaped through continuous collaboration with touring musicians and live production teams whose demands directly influence design priorities.

Beyond product innovation, JH Audio has invested heavily in customer service and repair infrastructure, aligning its pre- and post-sale support with the time-critical realities of touring schedules and professional production workflows. Rapid turnaround times and continuity of use remain central to its service ethos, and through the partnership with Group Technologies, this commitment to supply, service and support now formally extends across Australia and New Zealand.

From the manufacturer’s standpoint, the appointment represents an important step in strengthening regional engagement. Nigel Beaumont, Managing Director at JH Audio, commented, “As we expand JH Audio’s global reach, it’s essential we work with key partners who understand the heritage and technical innovation behind our IEM products. Our partners are an extension of our service and support culture, who help ensure our customers have the best user experience in the industry. Our friends at Group Technologies provide exactly that, which is why JH Audio are very pleased to be working with their team to deliver our full range of Universal and Custom IEMs to the Australian market.” With this alignment now in place, the partnership sets a clear pathway for deeper market penetration and sustained technical support across Australasia’s professional live sound ecosystem.
