TAG TO HANDLE U.S. DISTRIBUTION FOR FMR AUDIO
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Brad Lunde, president, Transamerica AG (TAG) along
with Mark and Beth McQuilken, founders of FMR Audio, Austin, Texas, have
entered into an agreement by which TAG is to distribute FMR Audio products
in the U.S. Prior to launching FMR Audio in 1997, the husband/wife team
of Mark and Beth McQuilken had over twenty years of experience in designing
and developing DSP products for companies such as RCA, Motorola, Lockheed
Martin and BMW under the name Electronic Design Services (EDS). Throughout
that time, both maintained a passion for designing innovative audio products
that would cut through the price/performance DSP maze.
In 1997, after years of selling their custom high-end compressor (the
RNC IntelliComp(tm)), Mark and Beth decided to take advantage of recent
software development and compression-algorithm tweaking and debuted the
FMR RNC1773 compressor. Within months of its introduction, the RNC1733
received both critical acclaim and phenomenal sales interest from both
audio professionals and consumers. "With a price tag of $200, the
RNC is a serious studio tool that easily competes with compressors far
more expensive," noted Mark. "It embodies evolutionary advances
in digital technology, coupled with the best analog has to offer. Both
Beth and I realized we were far better at designing than selling - having
a specialist like Brad Lunde handling the sales element of business just
makes sense."
"I've been interested in FMR Audio for several years," commented
Lunde. "FMR is an important growth company because they have found
ways to make digital and analog work together at a price people can afford.
The FMR "RNC" (Really Nice Compressor) delivers benchmark performance
and benchmark pricing. It appeals to a broad range of users. It's easy
to use and get top-flight results. Its capability is way beyond anything
we know of anywhere near the price. Distributing this product and working
with FMR is going to be a lot of fun."
