GerrAudio Distribution

What GerrAudio Distribution does

GerrAudio Distribution Inc. is a Canadian value-added distributor of professional audio, communications, and test-and-measurement equipment, headquartered in Brockville, Ontario and operating since 1977. The company holds exclusive Canadian distribution rights for an extensive portfolio of premium global brands — including Meyer Sound (loudspeaker systems and Galaxy/Nebra processors), DiGiCo (digital mixing consoles including Quantum-series), Clear-Com (intercom platforms such as FreeSpeak and Arcadia), DPA Microphones, Sound Devices (wireless including Astral), RME, KLANG (immersive IEM), Fourier Audio (transform.engine), and more recently CEDAR Audio and JH Audio. GerrAudio does not manufacture; it curates an interoperable ecosystem of third-party brands and layers on system design, commissioning, training, and ongoing technical support — the "value-added" dimension of its distribution model.

The company generates revenue through two streams: (1) hardware distribution margins on product sales to resellers, system integrators, and end users across Canada, and (2) professional services revenue from system design, technical training, and ongoing support. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales (Ontario, Western Canada, and broadcast specialists), a self-service online shop for select product lines plus a used-equipment B-Stock channel, and a network of authorized resellers and rental partners. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year enterprise engagements typical for venue installations.

GerrAudio serves Canadian customers in live events and touring production, theatre and performing arts, broadcast facilities, house of worship, installed AV (casinos, convention centers, corporate AV), and specialized vertical markets (government, forensic, test and measurement). Notable customers evidenced in case studies include Scotiabank Centre (Halifax), Flato Markham Theatre, Centre In The Square (Kitchener), Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal, Tenth Church (Vancouver), Young People's Theatre, and touring act Lights. The company is privately held, founder-led (Bob Snelgrove remains President), with a 2021 ownership restructuring adding two board members, and reports no institutional funding or M&A activity to date.
