After working on many projects using Optocore solutions in the past, Seoul-based Ingang Audio has been formally appointed as new South Korean distributors for Optocore and associated brand, BroaMan, with immediate effect.
Established in 2006, under president Joo Hong Chang and CEO Steve Kim, Ingang Audio has an portfolio of global pro audio brands, including Meyer Sound, Calrec, Countryman, Samson and Lectrosonics.
Both Mr. Chang and Technical Director, Eric Han had known Optocore and BroaMan for many years and the latter has received Optocore training.
Dawid Somló, Optocore distribution sales manager, said: “Ingang had been talking with us for long time. They are an excellent pro audio company with a good infrastructure. They are keen to develop their portfolio with our video transporting systems and also add them to their audio projects.”
Ingang Audio’s senior marketing manager, Jake Min, agreed that the move into distribution was a logical progression after so many experiences together. He said: “Having Optocore and BroaMan [in our portfolio] is like securing a backbone for our brands. We now have optical paths for sending and receiving audio/video/intercom and some control signals. Also, it enables us to make an optical connection between loudspeaker, processor and console, replacing the existing cables.”
