What Audiotec does

Audiotec is a French audiovisual solutions provider (AUDIOTEC, SARL; SIRET 34742254500025) operating since 1988 from Quint-Fonsegrives near Toulouse in the Occitanie region. The company rents, sells, and services professional audio, video, and lighting (AVL) equipment, drawing on a multi-brand inventory that includes L-Acoustics, Yamaha, Chauvet, Cameo, ETC, Robert Juliat, Astera, Briteq, DTS, OXO, Contest, ADB, and Zero 88, alongside videoconferencing brands such as Barco, Konftel, Sony, and Polycom. Its core physical assets are a showroom/retail store, a warehouse depot in Quint-Fonsegrives, and a delivery fleet covering Haute-Garonne and metropolitan France.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: (i) usage-based equipment rental (daily rates, e.g., €25–€420 per item per day), (ii) one-time retail sales through the physical magasin and online catalog, and (iii) professional services including engineering and integration ("bureau d'études"), live event production and technical direction ("prestation et régie évènementielle"), and after-sales maintenance across major brands. Pricing for rentals is unit-based with degressive tariff for longer durations; sales and services are quote-based.

Audiotec serves a hybrid B2B/B2C customer base spanning corporate events and conferences, concerts and festivals, theaters and concert halls, places of worship, sports venues, museums and institutions, retail and ERP locations, as well as private individuals hosting personal events. Distribution channels include the physical store, the e-commerce website (audiotec.fr), a metropolitan-France delivery service, and a LeBonCoin marketplace listing for destockage inventory. The company is managed by Arnaud Sainte-Marie as gérant, with 21 employees and no disclosed outside investors or funding rounds.
