American Music & Sound is very pleased to announce that Wharfedale Pro has joined the AM&S family of brands effective May 1, 2008. Celebrating 75 years of producing the finest loudspeakers, Wharfedale Pro joins AM&S with a full lineup of powered, passive, and install loudspeakers as well as rock solid amplifiers, mixers, and studio speakers.

“Wharfedale Pro is a fantastic addition to our Live Sound and Sound Reinforcement offering,” states Lynn Martin, President of American Music & Sound. “They bring an historic brand legacy and couple that with state of the art manufacturing techniques making Wharfedale Pro a tremendous opportunity for dealers, sound companies, consultants, and installers in the USA!”

Daniel Chang, Wharfedale Pro’s Managing Director offers, “American Music & Sound’s distribution network and expertise in Pro Audio markets is perfect for our products. We are very excited to be teaming up with AM&S.”

AM&S’s Scott Messler has been appointed National Sales Manager for Wharfedale Pro.  With a long history in Pro Audio, Sound Reinforcement, and Install markets, Scott is well positioned to expand Wharfedale Pro’s reach in the United States. “Wharfedale Pro’s install offerings are world class; there are awesome opportunities here for this brand.”

Since 1932, Wharfedale has been at the forefront of loudspeaker technology.  The new Titan(tm) 8 by Wharfedale Pro combines a titanium compression driver and a heavy-duty cast-frame woofer to ensure absolute accuracy, high output, and the smooth, wide dispersion of the critical mid and high frequency ranges. The new “S-Series” dual channel sound reinforcement amplifier line offers three models: S-1000, S-1500 and S-2500 and features real-time status indicators, signal limiting, frequency selection, and output bridging. Wharfedale Pro puts a lifetime of experience into our products - you get out a lifetime of performance.
