Austrian Audio Joins METAlliance As Newest Pro Partner

Nashville, TN, January 2020 – The METAlliance (Music Engineering & Technology Alliance) has announced that Austrian Audio has become the newest Pro Partner of the organization. Pro Partner membership is limited to companies that have shown the ability to manufacture and distribute products that meet the organization’s professional audio standards.

The METAlliance's George Massenburg commented: “We’re excited to see another great manufacturer that shares our commitment to providing quality in audio recording. We’re looking forward to seeing more Austrian Audio products that meet those needs.”

Austrian Audio opened its doors in 2017 following the closure of the AKG offices in Vienna and set out to create something new, challenging, and respectful to its heritage. The new company started with a core team of previous AKG personnel from management, acoustics, electronics, test and measurement, mechanical design, RF/wireless and software/firmware, bringing 350 years of cumulative engineering experience to the new company.

“Austrian Audio is honored to become a member of the prestigious METAlliance,” commented Martin Seidl, Austrian Audio CEO. “It is our company’s aim to ensure we manufacture products that offer the highest levels of quality in the recording chain, which is very much in line with the METAlliance’s ethos. For us as a start-up company, it’s very encouraging being chosen as a professional partner by the alliance founders.”

Austrian Audio will exhibit in the US for the first time at Winter NAMM 2020 Pro Audio Hall, ACC North / Level 1, Booth #14121.
