Loudspeaker manufacturer Funktion-One has announced the appointment of Audio Gears as its distributor for Thailand and Vietnam. The Bangkok-based company has a wealth of industry experience, strong connections in the local markets and a genuine passion for audio excellence.

Audio Gears was founded by Jesada ‘Jack’ Pattanatabut as CEO (centre), owner of Production Company and a veteran live sound engineer, in partnership with Bob Siripremanant as COO (right), owner of After Miracle Plus Company. Between them, they have over 60 years’ experience in pro audio rentals, live sound and concert production management, both in Thailand and the wider Southeast Asia region.

The company is backed by a team of engineers and technicians with significant expertise in audio production, installation and maintenance services, working under the guidance of Technical Director Attaporn 'Smile' Sanguanphak (left).

Siripremanant comments: “We are live sound engineers who are passionate about audio production and have used and listened to all the major speaker brands available in the market. We know the quality that we are looking for and have found that quality in Funktion-One’s products. We strongly believe in Tony Andrews’ vision and share his passion for audio quality.”

Pattanatabut adds: “We want to tell everyone in Thailand and Vietnam, especially the club, bar and hotel managers and owners, as well as audio rental companies, that the wait is over; an exclusive Funktion-One distributor is now officially open and 100% active on the ground in Thailand and Vietnam. We look forward to supporting all your requests and requirements.

The new partnership has been welcomed by Funktion-One’s Director of Business Development, Andrew Low: “We are delighted to welcome Audio Gears Co as our distributor for two very important markets. They understand and believe in the Funktion-One approach to audio excellence. We look forward to working with them to deliver exciting projects in the region.”
