Dear Monitor Audio partner,

These are exciting times at Monitor Audio. As a uniquely British audio manufacturer we are always looking at ways to improve our products, operations and service levels to ensure that we give our customers exactly what they are looking for. With the launch of our new Gold and Bronze series of loudspeakers, I believe that our new product line-up is the strongest in our long, award-winning history and over the next few months you will see that we will be improving this range even further.

In our ceaseless drive for excellence, I am delighted to announce that we have made several promotions and appointments to our sales and marketing team. I believe that we now have the most talented and experienced team in the industry and that their passion for our products will really help us to grow the Monitor Audio brand.

As well as the news about appointments and product launches, we’re proud to highlight some of the outstanding press coverage that’s recently come our way, and delighted that the expert reviewers share our enthusiasm for Monitor Audio’s products. We’re sure that their words will help you to introduce new customers to the great sound and design quality of Monitor Audio. I hope that you find our latest news useful and interesting.
