DEPARTMENTS But what about Swissonic America? Are they a vaporous residue of history? Word has it that people are getting the impression that Swissonic America is no more. “This is not true, far from it.” Says Geoffrey Clegg, VP of Sales and Marketing at Swissonic America. Were the rumors true, he’d be unemployed, right?

Sonorus to Distribute Swissonic Products to North America . . . so what ‘dat mean? By Cris Dunnam, Editor - at - large Sonorus, Inc. has announced they will be distributing the entire Swissonic product line in North America. In the past, Swissonic manufactured the AD24 and DA24 converter boxes sold under the Sonorus brand name. Sonorus spokesperson say “ the entire Swissonic product line will be available through Sonorus in North America.” The product line includes the AD96 and DA96 24 bit - 96 kHz sample rate converters, the AD8 universal preamp/converter, and the new USB Studio and USB Studio D. The latter two have been highly recommended by MacRocks in the last few months. Daniel Feusi, General Manager of Swissonic AG adds "we are very happy about the distribution arrangement between Sonorus and Swissonic America. It will allow us to build upon our good relationship with Sonorus and expand the market presence of Swissonic in the US. "We are pleased to have Sonorus distribute Swissonic audio products in North America. Now Sonorus can expand its product line beyond the AD24 and DA24 converters and support 96kHz USB, and more." stated Swissonic America President Martin Ucik. Says Sonorus, Inc. co-founder and President Mark Clayton "We chose Swissonic because their high-quality and good-sounding converters are the perfect match for STUDI/O users requiring multichannel analog I/O without compromises." MacRocks says “True that . . .” but extends this feeling to include a very important market, the Mac user. Swissonic’s persistence and attention to the future needs of those using their products clearly makes them the one’s to watch for real and significant introduction of products to the North American Market that work with the technologies being made popular by Apple.
