Established for over 35 years, Sound Group Holdings distribute an array of global AV brands including Yamaha, Klipsh, Speakercraft and Epson. Due to their continued successful expansion into custom installation solutions, the company is well positioned to maximise the sales potential of Bluestream AV. 

Sound Holding’s sales manager, Mark Kruck, commented on the new partnership saying, “Bluestream offers us an exciting opportunity within rapidly growing market sector. The custom installation market is expanding in New Zealand and HDBaseT distribution is a core product category. It’s great that the extensive range of Bluestream products deliver advanced HDBaseT features including 4K integration, audio breakout and ARC, this will enable us to establish the brand as a true market leader in New Zealand.”

Bluestream AV has recently launched the first 20 products in its new range of advanced HDMI and HDBaseT distribution solutions. Never before has there been a platform that can deliver HDMI, RS-232, IR, PoH (PoE), and LAN serving over a dedicated single CAT cable infrastructure. Distributing to lengths of up to 100m, HDBaseT products are now being specified as the backbone solution on nearly all commercial and residential AV installations. 

As an official HDBaseT adopter, Bluestream AV is firmly at the forefront of this technology. Bluestream AV operations director, Martyn Shirley says, “Through innovative application of the HDBaseT chipset our engineers have developed a comprehensive range of market leading solutions that utilise key new features of HDBaseT. All of our products support 4K resolutions from the outset and we have also engineered audio breakout and ARC functionality into the majority of products. The integration of these key features ensures we have a market leading product range from day one, coupled with a standard of service and support that will enhance the offering of our distribution partners throughout the globe.”
