LEA Professional’s commercial audio technology catalog, featuring industry-first advancements in intelligent IT solutions, best-in-class DSP, and smart power management, is set to reach more Australian customers in 2026 through a new distribution partnership with Jands, one of Australia’s leading AV distributors.
The Jands team has been providing the highest quality technology solutions to its customers since 1970. Thanks to Generation AV, LEA Professional’s APAC manufacturer’s representative and authorized sales partner, Jands, and LEA Professional, the partnership came together.
“We are excited to see this partnership take shape,” said Dave McKinney, Managing Director, Generation AV.
“By bringing LEA’s extensive commercial solution lineup to the Australian market through a trusted distributor, we can reach a larger customer base and provide the quality and support they expect. It is immensely rewarding to help connect two organizations that are equally committed to excellence and customer success.”
The Partnership
This partnership will bring LEA Professional’s award-winning Network Connect series of professional amplifiers and companion Dante Connect series, featuring Dante and AES67 connectivity, to more Australian customers. These series enable integrators to use cloud-based remote control, monitoring, notifications, and more from any internet-enabled device, keeping them connected anywhere in the world.
“This partnership reinforces Jands’ ongoing investment in future-ready audio technologies and its commitment to supporting the evolving needs of the Australian professional AV industry,” said Phil Muffet, CEO and Managing Director, Jands. “As AV systems continue to move toward networked, remotely managed environments, LEA Professional’s approach to amplification aligns closely with the way consultants and integrators are designing, deploying, and supporting systems today.”
