Harmonia Distribution is pleased to announce that it has taken over the distribution rights from Fidelis AV as the official distributor of Harbeth Audio Ltd. in the United States of America. Founded in 1977, Harbeth is one of the UK’s longest-standing and wholly British loudspeaker brands with an enviable track record in innovation.

David Schultz, president of Harmonia Distribution, says, “Harbeth is a brand we have been following for several years, and we are now thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with them. After discussing with Managing Director Alan Shaw the significant investments Harbeth has made in its future, such as the NLE series and Nelson, we are genuinely excited to add our distribution expertise to successfully launch these new products and enhance the brand’s presence in North America.”

David then went on to praise “the stellar build quality of each Harbeth product, which are all hand- assembled and tested at its factory in Lindfield, UK, to the highest standards.”

Walter Swanbon, owner of Fidelis AV, said, “Working with the Harbeth brand for the past fifteen years has been a true pleasure. However, with the introduction of upcoming digital products, it is now the ideal time to transition to a distributor with the resources of Harmonia to fully capitalize on the new market opportunities. I will be collaborating closely with Harmonia over the next few months to ensure a seamless transition. This move is a win-win for everyone involved.”

Harbeth, over the past three years, has been investing in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to maximise the performance potential of its drive unit technology in its future products. With the power and capability of DSP, the Harbeth design team can adjust the smallest of sonic details – delivering the pinnacle of loudspeaker performance. This development work has seen the release of Nelson, a bass-extender + stand solution for all mini-monitors, including the P3ESR and LS3/5A monitors, and the recent launch of the NLE, Harbeth’s first all-digital loudspeaker series.

The Nelson is available to order through Harmonia Distribution and its retailers, and the NLE-1 and NLE-3 are for preorder only.

You can find more information on each of those products on the Harbeth website and User Group.
