Martin Warr<\/strong>, Managing Director of Synthax Audio UK, and Chris Collings<\/strong>, Managing Director of Aspen Media.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mittweida, Germany \u2013 11 May 2026 \u2013 <\/strong>DirectOut, the German specialist in high-end audio solutions, is pleased to announce that as of June 1st<\/sup> 2026, Synthax Audio UK will be its new distribution partner for the United Kingdom and Ireland.<\/p>\n Synthax takes over the distribution from Aspen Media, which has represented DirectOut with outstanding professionalism and dedication for many years. This transition concludes a highly successful partnership, as Chris Collings<\/strong>, owner of Aspen Media, steps back to enjoy a well-deserved retirement after a long and accomplished career in the professional audio industry.<\/p>\n Synthax Audio UK will look to leverage its extensive relationships within the studio, live sound and broadcast audio markets, sectors it has been serving for more than 15 years. The addition of DirectOut represents a natural and strategic fit alongside the company\u2019s existing portfolio.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are delighted to welcome DirectOut to the Synthax family in the UK and Ireland,\u201d says Martin Warr<\/strong>, Managing Director<\/em> of Synthax Audio UK. \u201cHaving worked closely with the brand for many years, we already have considerable experience in providing sales, support and application expertise for DirectOut products.<\/p>\n \u201cI also personally have a longstanding relationship with Stefan Flock<\/strong>, Director and Founder<\/em> of DirectOut, and have always admired his vision and technical innovations. DirectOut\u2019s reputation for engineering excellence and reliability makes the brand a perfect complement to the other pro audio manufacturers we represent, and we see tremendous opportunities for growth across the touring, live production, broadcast and systems integration markets.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re happy to welcome Synthax Audio UK as our new distributor for UK and Ireland,\u201d says Lorenzo Sassi<\/strong>, Director of Sales<\/em> at DirectOut. \u201cAs a long-time DirectOut reseller, they already know our audio solutions and customers very well, ensuring smooth continuity of what Aspen Media has built over the years. We look forward to taking the next step together.\u201d<\/p>\n The appointment of Synthax guarantees continuity and stability for DirectOut customers in the UK. The relationship between Martin Warr<\/strong> and Chris Collings<\/strong> goes back many years, with Synthax and Aspen Media having already shared successful commercial collaborations in the past.<\/p>\n Reflecting on the partnership, Chris Collings<\/strong> comments: \u201cThe success of our DirectOut distributorship is no mystery; it\u2019s simply the product of a shared understanding of the importance of making customers smile with great products and exemplary service. For this, I must give significant credit to the contribution made over the years by long\u2011standing colleagues Melanie Stephen<\/strong>, Louise Sammon<\/strong> and Sue Hurd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s also worth noting that Synthax has already been part of that journey, working with us as a reseller of DirectOut in the UK, which makes this a very natural next step.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe warmly welcome Synthax and look forward to a successful future together in the UK market,\u201d says Jan Ehrlich<\/strong>, COO<\/strong> of DirectOut. \u201cAt the same time, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Chris Collings<\/strong> for his outstanding work and dedication over many years.
