DbM has expanded its ever-growing distribution portfolio of market-leading brands by introducing Sonos as a new partner. Appointed as a sub distributor, DbM is making it as easy as possible for its integrators to deploy high-quality distributed audio by offering direct access to the Sonos Port and Amp.
“This new distribution deal is an extension of our adoption of the Works with Sonos™ programme,” comments Barry Sheldrick, Director of Sales at DbM. “When we got approval for this programme, it soon became clear that if we were to distribute Sonos within DbM, we’d be addressing a market that didn’t have a simple solution to make the life of the integrator easy.
“Now, thanks to this extended partnership, we can provide dealers with the Meridian 218 Zone Controller or 251 Power Zone Controller and a Sonos Port for any project in the UK – ensuring the homeowner can enjoy Meridian’s high-performance audio, whilst using the simple and familiar interface of their Sonos app. For more budget conscious projects, this partnership allows dealers to consider pairing up the Sonos Amp with Amina or Waterfall Audio speakers – while again, still delivering the same user experience.”
“We have enjoyed working with DbM on the Works with Sonos™ programme and it was a natural progression to provide the distributor with a range of products to offer its customers,” comments Stephen Rhead, Sonos Installed Solutions Manager NE Europe.
“We believe that DbM is best placed to distribute Sonos as the team understand the market, recognise the challenges that face dealers and have vast experience in designing high-quality distributed audio systems. We look forward to seeing this partnership grow and develop in the coming months.”
Sonos provides the backbone to a large number of installations within the UK. It is still the go-to user interface for millions of clients. Thanks to DbM’s product offering, it is able to combine the flexibility that comes with Sonos with Meridian’s resolution enhancement technologies and incredible loudspeakers – making this the perfect partnership.
