The Audio Professionals are a new distribution company with a fresh approach. We represent quality audio products to UK dealers, with a strong emphasis on end user service and support. We pride ourselves on a face to face approach which includes on-site demos, training and the provision of loan stock.
Martin Warr (Managing Director)
Many of you may already know Martin as ‘the man from Mackie’, a brand with which he was synonymous for over 9 years. Martin was head of Loud UK, responsible for Mackie, EAW, Ampeg, Crate and Tapco among others. In his earlier career, Martin was involved with many brands including product development with Soundcraft.
Martin is an accomplished cellist, tenor and pianist which led him into location classical recording. You can catch Martin singing and playing in and around St. Albans.
Martin founded The Audio Professionals to supply high end audio solutions to the professional studio and live marketplace. In August 07 he purchased Synthax Audio, exclusive UK distributors of RME and Alva cableware, which is run alongside The Audio Professionals.
Dave West (Sales & Marketing Manager)
Dave West started his career as a successful bassist playing with acts such as Wham, Bonnie Tyler, Hazel O’connor, Q-Tips, and many more, before turning his talents to production, where he enjoyed many years working in studios across Europe.
Since then, Dave has been a stalwart of various pro audio reselling and distribution companies, and is particularly well connected to the audio production, live and education markets.
Dave still plays bass with a variety of acts as and when time allows.
Rob Masters (General Manager)
Rob joined the team with the acquisition of Synthax Audio (UK). Despite being new to the industry, he’s rapidly gained an in depth knowledge of all the products we represent and is travelling the length and breadth of the UK familiarising himself with our many dealers.
Rob graduated with honours from the University of Warwick in 2007 with a Masters Degree in mathematics and physics, hence why he is also a guitarist!
