Philadelphia, PA — January 14, 2019 — Almo Professional A/V, the Pro AV industry’s Favorite Distributor, today unveiled it is the exclusive U.S. distributor for Ecler Audio Products. As a result, Almo partners now have access to the complete line of Ecler speakers, audio players, matrixes, amplifiers and audio accessories.
The Ecler line of audio products rolls up into Almo’s Sound Options dedicated audio sourcing and technical engineering group.

Our companies share mutual values, such as customer service, innovation and the importance of making a positive and impactful contribution to the business success of our customers.”
Macias expects that the accessibility of Ecler products through Almo Pro A/V will bring the U.S. Pro AV community new options for their projects. “We are proud of our European origin and our tradition of investing a significant portion of our earnings into R&D so we can offer an extensive, sustainable product line for full audio installations.”
