Contact Distribution Ltd
Contact Distribution Ltd. prides itself on being professional audio specialists offering technical support and product application assistance for their network of authorized dealers which range from retailers and installation contractors to the nation's production companies. From our inception we have strategically chosen manufacturers who's position is "best of brand" with the desire to offer our customers a complete portfolio of front-end to back-end solutions - mics to speakers, and everything in between. We will not represent mediocre or "me too" products and feel our brands all offer true distinctions and advantages that their competitors don't. As important as their products, are our manufacturer's attitudes and commitments to our staff and our customers up here in the "frozen north". We've accumulated some of the greatest audio personalities for support whose relationship to Canada is honest, attentive and not overbearing or capricious. This relationship guarantees continuity for the future and value in a long term return on investment for our users, our dealers and for Contact. In today's climate of corporate mergers and unaccountability we feel it has to be personal and for our manufacturers it is. For almost 20 years Contact has proudly been involved in some of Canada's (and the USA's) most significant audio and video projects. We've been fortunate to work alongside North America's best consultants assisting in designs, some of the best contractors and the country's greatest technicians and operators and covered the gamut of diverse applications of performing arts centres, churches, broadcast/recording, corporate A/V, touring live sound and cinema both commercial and residential. We're proud to say that over the years no project or piece of gear that left our building was ever deemed as trivial. Our passion for excellence won't allow that and neither will our manufactures nor our dealers of whom we expect the same commitment.
