BROCKVILLE – GerrAudio Distribution has been appointed as the exclusive Canadian distributor for CEDAR Audio, a global leader in digital dialogue noise suppression and audio restoration.
The partnership, announced March 25, brings CEDAR’s full portfolio of Emmy and Academy Award winning technologies to the Canadian market, supporting sectors ranging from broadcast and live sound to forensic analysis and security.
Based in Cambridge, U.K., CEDAR Audio is credited with inventing digital dialogue noise suppression and spectral editing. Its solutions are used worldwide to enhance audio clarity and remove noise in high-stakes environments, including film studios, newsrooms, and live concert venues.
“We are pleased to welcome GerrAudio as our distributor for Canada,” said Andy Trott, CEO of CEDAR Audio, in a statement. “GerrAudio has a strong national presence and a longstanding commitment to serving the Canadian professional audio industry. The company has built deep relationships within the live and broadcast markets, and the team clearly shares our ambitions for growth and continued expansion in North America.”
For Brockville-based GerrAudio, the addition of CEDAR Audio strengthens a portfolio that already serves specialized vertical markets, including test and measurement and mission-critical communications.
“CEDAR Audio is recognized worldwide as an innovator and leader in this specialized segment of the audio industry, and their hardware and software products fit naturally into our portfolio as another valuable tool in the professional audio signal chain,” said Bob Snelgrove, president of GerrAudio Distribution.
Snelgrove noted that CEDAR’s capabilities in speech enhancement and noise suppression align with the distributor’s work in broadcast and post-production, while also complementing its support of government and industrial applications.
“CEDAR’s capabilities also complement our efforts in vertical markets where we support test and measurement, communications, and mission-critical audio systems for government, forensic and commercial/industrial applications,” Snelgrove added.
GerrAudio will provide sales, technical support, and market development for CEDAR solutions across Canada, coordinating with dealers, system integrators, and broadcasters.
