HARMAN Luxury Audio Group and IMP have announced that they have entered into a new distribution partnership. With immediate effect, IMP is HARMAN’s distribution partner for the JBL Architectural speaker range in the UK custom install market.

IMP was founded in 1984 when it operated primarily in the marine market – the IMP abbreviation derives from International

Marine Products – however, the company has grown substantially, and now also covers the residential space. This new collaboration sees IMP integrate its UK distribution expertise with JBL’s Architectural line.

The JBL Architectural line is one of the world’s most finely tuned speaker offerings, according to the maker, fusing the US-based maker’s sound with carefully considered, custom install-appropriate features. The JBL Architectural range comprises an extensive range of in-ceiling and in-wall speakers for a multitude of cinema and multiroom audio applications. IMP will also distribute a range of JBL’s extreme climate speakers and the US maker’s state-of-the-art invisible speakers.

“We are very excited to announce this partnership with IMP,” said Scott Campbell, Director of Sales, HARMAN Luxury Audio. “JBL has a long heritage of delivering class-leading installation products, and I am positive our new partnership with IMP will allow the brand to grow across residential and marine CI channels in the UK.”

Darren Bown, Managing Director at IMP, added, “IMP is extremely proud to become the exclusive UK distributor for the JBL Architectural range to the residential and marine markets. JBL is an iconic international brand renowned for its innovation and superior sound quality. The addition of these products further enhances the IMP product range, and we are excited to offer these in the UK for the first time.”

Awe Appointed Uk Distributor For Adeo Projector Screens

AWE and ADEO have joined forces to elevate installers’ home cinema designs with customisable screens. The company has announced that its screens are now available in the UK through AWE, now the exclusive distributor to the custom installation and electrical retail markets.

Stuart Tickle, Managing Director at AWE, couldn’t be more thrilled about the partnership, “We’ve been searching for the right screen partner to pair with our Sony and Epson projector ranges and are delighted to announce our distribution partnership with ADEO. This outstanding range of projection screens is now available to UK integrators via AWE, providing customisable screen solutions, including masking options.”

Since 2001, ADEO Group has been operating on three fronts: in Italy, in the professional audio/video and home theatre/ high-end distribution sectors; and in Europe, as ADEO Screen, distinguishing itself as one of the most successful manufacturers of screens. ADEO expanded its production capacity by building a dedicated factory in Poland with 3500m2 for production and warehouse space, plus 1000m2 dedicated to offices and a showroom.

ADEO underlines that it operates on solid principles such as the strength of the know- how, resulting from 10 years of expertise; and the assurance offered by an all-Italian product development process.

ADEO allows for an entirely customisable projector screen with a myriad of screen types, fabrics and aspect ratios. The choice is large and includes a wealth of projection surfaces and numerous format options (from the classics: 4:3 and 16:9 to 2.35:1 and 2.40:1). Customise everything from the case, colouring, screen drop, roller type and dimensions of the screen to achieve a bespoke look.

The ADEO online configurator allows AWE and trained integrators to build any screen option by following simple steps. Once the screen configuration is completed, a comprehensive PDF with all dimensions and mounting options is created, which can be used in the design of the overall cinema.
