Avpro

What Avpro does

AVPro Global Holdings (operating as AVPro) is a privately held US-based designer, manufacturer, and distributor of professional audio/video connectivity and distribution hardware, headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with an owned manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, China. The company operates across nine sub-brands — AVPro Edge, AudioControl, RTI, Bullet Train, Murideo, ThenAudio, ProControl, MXnet, AXION, and ConferX — covering HDMI matrix switchers, HDBaseT and fiber extenders, AV-over-IP transceivers (1G, 10G, and the newer MXnet USP platform), audio amplifiers, control processors, HDMI cables, and signal testing equipment. Technical differentiation is anchored in proprietary platforms such as MXnet (supporting SDVoE and Dante integration), the AXION modular matrix line, 8K HDMI extenders with eARC audio extension, and an industry-leading 10-year warranty on AVPro Edge products.

AVPro serves three primary customer segments: residential custom installers, commercial and hospitality venues (restaurants, bars, hotels, casinos, corporate spaces), and professional AV integrators serving conference and collaboration rooms. Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware product sales via an authorized dealer program and a global distributor network that includes ADI Global Distribution, Snap One, Audio Visions, and 100+ international distributors across 60+ countries. Go-to-market is reinforced by AVPro Academy (AVIXA and CEDIA accredited training), ISF Level III certified support staff, AVPro Design Services, and the AI-powered Tech Sage AVPro.ai support assistant.

The business is privately held with no disclosed external investors, was featured on the Inc. 5000 list, and has expanded its brand portfolio through acquisitions including ThenAudio (November 2023), AudioControl, RTI, Bullet Train, Murideo, and ProControl. Founder Jeff Murray leads the company as President and CEO alongside CFO Douglas Laue. AVPro holds CE and FCC certifications across its product lines and has pursued TAA-compliant SKUs to access US public-sector procurement channels.
