NATICK, MA, August 23, 2010 — Genelec Inc., U.S. distributor of Genelec Custom Installation Systems, has added Omega Sales, Inc., of Wheeling, Illinois, to its growing family of manufacturer’s representatives. Bart LoPiccolo, Genelec National Sales Manager, made the announcement as part of Genelec’s ongoing expansion in the custom installation/home theater market sectors. Omega Sales will represent the territory of Illinois and Wisconsin. Company principals Gary Kumpf and Steve Ekblad will be leading the efforts.

Brighton-based three-piece The Qemists began working together in a touring rock band in the late 90s, but developed a taste for drum n bass, touring and playing rock by day, while producing drum n bass and DJing by night. The trio were given their first break when Ninja Tune released their remix of Coldcut's Everything Is Under Control.
The raucous blending of rock riffs with drum n bass brought the group to the attention of international DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Andy C and resulted in Pendulum adding the group to their Radio 1 Essential Mix.

Liam Black, one third of The Qemists, has recently added a pair of Genelec 6010A Active Loudspeakers to his home studio setup, along with a 5040A subwoofer: “We've got a complex of two studios, in a big industrial unit, but we're used to having our home setups and I realised I needed something to monitor with at home,” says Liam.

Genelec, pioneer in Active Monitoring technology, is also a leader in high-quality, discreet, low-profile in-wall and in-ceiling loudspeaker design. A recent installation for an upscale residential media room in the Los Angeles area featured a combination of Genelec AIW25 Active In-Wall, AIC25 Active In-Ceiling and the 5041A Active In-Wall Subwoofer in an aesthetically pleasing architectural design.

NATICK, MA, September 14, 2009 — At this year’s CEDIA Expo in Atlanta, Georgia, Genelec showed its appreciation to the many people who contribute to the ongoing success and growth of its acclaimed Custom Installation Systems product line.

Genelec presented awards to its valued business partners in recognition of their continued efforts to expand the brand, as well as further the concept of Active Loudspeakers within the consumer audio industry and custom install market.
