Matrix Audio Appoints Fundamental Audio as Exclusive Australian Distributor

From Xi'an to the World - Matrix Audio has expanded its global footprint with the company appointing Fundamental Audio as its exclusive Australian distributor.

Matrix Audio's story traces back to 2001 when three classmates built DIY loudspeakers. Little did they know it would spark a lifelong collaboration and lay the foundations of a brand known today for its engineering rigour, slick industrial design, and high-end performance.

With a philosophy hinging around "the intersection of signal purity, user ergonomics and modern aesthetics", Matrix Audio's award-winning products can now be found in all corners of the globe.

Matrix Audio offers a wide range of pre-amplifiers, amplifiers, and is best known for its highly capable and well-specified streamers.

Effective immediately, Fundamental Audio will be responsible for the marketing, sales and after-sales support of Matrix Audio in Australia. Fundamental Audio has been on a steady growth trajectory in recent years following the appointment of General Manager, Steve Burton, who brings more than three decades of industry experience to the company.

Steve said:

We're very enthusiastic about the Matrix Audio brand since experiencing the product range earlier this year. The product engineering and the people behind the brand align with our principles, and range is a welcome addition to our portfolio.

Matrix Audio added:

Fundamental Audio will help further strengthen Matrix Audio's sales network and service system across the Australian market. This collaboration is expected to enhance our brand presence and elevate the overall customer experience. We believe that through close cooperation, Matrix Audio's premium products and core philosophy will reach a broader audience of audiophiles and music lovers in these markets.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
