Point Source Audio has announced the formation of Wider Pro, LLC, a new

try. Based in Petaluma, CA, Wider Pro will handle North American distribu-
tion of Digigram, AuviTran, and other brands to be announced.

sales, marketing, and service of its microphone and headset products for all
markets, including the broadcast sector.

transition of its current distributed brands from Point Source Audio to Wider Pro. “I have worked with the teams at both Digigram and Auvi-
Tran for almost two decades, and with the pending announcements of new products from both companies, we will be equipped to move
into the next phase of growth under the Wider Pro company.”
