44 new AP audio analyzers increase speed by 30%, resulting in significant value for Behringer, Midas and Klark Teknik customers around the world
Beaverton and MUSIC Group City, Zhongshan, China. February 17, 2010: The MUSIC Group, owner of the world-renowned Behringer, Midas and Klark Teknik brands, has installed 44 APx515 audio analyzers at its newly refurbished Zhongshan production facility. The order was placed though AP Technology, the exclusive Chinese distributor for APx515 manufacturer Audio Precision, the recognized standard in audio test.
The MUSIC Group’s test infrastructure was already quite comprehensive with its own UL lab and Faraday cage. The APx515 analyzers add state-of-the-art audio test capability so the MUSIC Group can verify components as well as their own finished products. In addition to improving overall quality, the MUSIC Group estimates that the APx515 analyzers have already cut production-line test times by 30%.
“We believe testing does more than improve the quality of our products; it increases speed and reduces overhead, which ultimately translates to better value for our customers,” says the MUSIC Group CEO Uli Behringer, “As the most cost-effective and powerful audio analyzer in its class, the Audio Precision APx515 fits within our strategy perfectly.”
“With their commitment to quality and a real-world need for speed and affordability, the APx515 could have been custom designed for the MUSIC Group,” says Dave Schmoldt, President of Audio Precision. “It’s a perfect match and I’m very happy to see such a measureable return on investment for the Group.”
