Nashville, TN, January 2020 – The METAlliance (Music Engineering & Technology Alliance) has announced that Austrian Audio has become the newest Pro Partner of the organization. Pro Partner membership is limited to companies that have shown the ability to manufacture and distribute products that meet the organization’s professional audio standards.
The METAlliance’s George Massenburg commented: “We’re excited to see another great manufacturer that shares our commitment to providing quality in audio recording. We’re looking forward to seeing more Austrian Audio products that meet those needs.”

“Austrian Audio is honored to become a member of the prestigious METAlliance,” commented Martin Seidl, Austrian Audio CEO. “It is our company’s aim to ensure we manufacture products that offer the highest levels of quality in the recording chain, which is very much in line with the METAlliance’s ethos. For us as a start-up company, it’s very encouraging being chosen as a professional partner by the alliance founders.”
