NZ Distribution Change While AU Distribution Secure, Says Lenbrook
Lenbrook, the parent company of consumer audio brands including Bluesound, NAD Electronics, and PSB, has appointed Connected Media as its distributor in New Zealand. At the same time, Convoy has been confirmed as 'rock-solid' in Australia.
It's been reported that Gord Simmons, Lenbrook's CEO has confirmed the move from Wildash Audio Systems in New Zealand for Bluesound, NAD and PSB.
In Australia however, Bluesound which is distributed by Convoy International has enjoyed incredible success breaking into the wireless multiroom audio market, with the Australian market considered “a major part” of the brand's global sales.
Today, marking the first anniversary of Convoy's founder, Geoff Matthews' passing, son David Matthews has emerged as an affable and highly-capable CEO and leader.
Over the last twelve months, the company has reported increased sales, expanded into new channels, appointed new staff in sales, marketing and logistics, and increased its relationships with core dealers nationally.
David Matthews told StereoNET:
As today marks the anniversary of Geoff's passing, I could not be more proud of the entire Convoy team, upholding the legacy that my father built. Convoy is in a strong position going forward, and we look forward to working with Lenbrook for many years to come.
StereoNET also spoke with Lenbrook, with a spokesperson confirming that “we're pleased with the brand's performance and will continue to support Convoy, having stuck with them through challenging times.”

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.
