McIntosh and Sonus faber CI products make UK debut

McIntosh and Sonus faber distributor Fine Sounds UK is expanding its portfolio to include custom install products, and has joined CEDIA as a trade supplier member, bringing McIntosh and Sonus faber’s high-performance CI offerings to its integrator members.

Fine Sounds UK’s Sales Director, Andy Oattes, has coined a phrase for the converging categories, ‘CI-fi’ and suggests that the ‘Voice of Sonus faber’ and McIntosh’s legendary sound quality need no longer be restricted to where the hi-fi system is located.

This ‘CI-fi’ portfolio will include Sonus faber’s Italian-made in-wall and in-ceiling CI loudspeakers, the Palladio Collection, plus McIntosh Laboratory’s comprehensive range of install-friendly equipment, including the recently announced MX100 AV processor and MI347 seven-channel power amplifier.

The two brands’ performance-tier CI-fi music and movie offerings, including the McIntosh MX170 A/V processor, McIntosh’s extensive range of award-winning amplifiers, plus Sonus faber’s Palladio Level 6 in-wall/-ceiling speakers, which draw from the seven-strong Olympica Nova collection, will be a demonstration focus for some of Fine Sounds UK’s newest cinema design and integrator partners.


Commenting on Fine Sounds UK’s expansion into the CEDIA network of designers and integrators, Andy Oattes said, “McIntosh and Sonus faber are both incredible companies with a huge range of solutions for integrators to choose for a wide array of projects across music and movies. The common denominator is world-class quality and scintillating performance. Both companies are utterly dedicated to engineering the very best products to captivate consumers. Therefore, working with the very best integrators and cinema designers in the UK and Ireland is vital for the best experience to be heard and seen.

“Working with CEDIA and the cream of the integration community is key for us to retain the highest quality end-result for the customer as possible and I look forward to the exciting times ahead!”

Matt Nimmons, Managing Director of CEDIA EMEA said: “We are delighted to welcome Fine Sounds UK to the CEDIA community and look forward to providing the necessary resources and platforms for them to engage with our network of home technology integrators.”
