Harman Professional Solutions has just announced the consolidation of its audio and video control distribution in Australia.
Effective 1 August 2025, MadisonAV will become the exclusive distributor for the complete Harman Professional audio and video portfolio across the region. Distribution of the Martin Professional lighting portfolio will continue with Show Technology.
Consolidation of distribution in the region reflects Harman Professional’s heavy investment in software platforms including JBL Venue Synthesis (3D acoustic simulation software) and FLUX:: which enables the delivery of experiences for a wide variety of applications including content creation, live production, installed sound and post-production.
In addition, Harman continues to invest in its install portfolio with new products and platforms including AMX MUSE, BSS Soundweb OMNI, AVX software suite and refreshes of the JBL Control Contractor range.
Amar Subash, vice president and general manager, Harman Professional APAC, commented: “The Harman Professional portfolio is evolving in a way that R&D investments in new hardware and software platforms are reshaping the portfolio and our business. As we look to the future there are great benefits in consolidating distribution as it will allow us to leverage the full potential of the investments made to the portfolio and I’m pleased that MadisonAV will carry us forward.”
Furthermore, MadisonAV is investing in a national Harman Experience Centre where dealers and their customers can explore and evaluate the full spectrum of Harman Professional audio solutions.
Serving as both a demonstration hub and a training resource, the experience centre will support resellers, installers, consultants and end-users with hands-on learning, system comparisons, and application-based sessions that span music, performance, AV integration and broadcast.
Ken Kyle, CEO of MadisonAV, said: “We’re proud to deepen our relationship with Harman and deliver even more value to the Australian market. We’ve enjoyed five strong years supporting the growth of Harman’s install AV and tour products, so it’s rewarding for our team to be entrusted with this expanded portfolio. We’ll provide consistent access to the full Harman Professional portfolio, backed by expert technical support, local stock, a national repair centre, and responsive customer service. Our investment and recruitment of a specialised retail team will complement our well-established capabilities, ensuring that whether you’re fitting out a venue or supplying a portable PA system, you’ll get the same trusted experience and support from MadisonAV.”
