Lyon & Healy Corporation has announced that Red Sound and Marconi Labs, both well-known boutique brands out of Italy, will be handing over the reins of their North American distribution to them exclusively for the territory. “These brands were just the type of additions we were looking for to add year-over-year growth once again in 2022,” said Massimo Dolce, Chief Operating Officer.
“Marconi’s new Ego model, of which we will have four exclusive North American models, and will be doing a full North American product launch later this year, is definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with in the growing world of guitars that feature the latest in technology. They are amazing,” said Dolce. The guitar company, celebrating their 20th year of making handmade instruments, boasts both Apple AirTag and NFC tracking technology. They can be pinpointed on a map by the owner in real time, helping them relax knowing that their guitars are safe and sound where they belong. The Ego guitars feature interchangeable and endless customization of the components that make it up – such as the armrest with different models to satisfy any comfort requirement, or the control box that allows one to configure the electronics to suit their needs – which appeals to a broad audience looking to stand out from the crowd.
Red Sound, known throughout the industry for their high-end audio speakers and cabinets has also decided to join Lyon & Healy Corporation’s arsenal of brands. Lyon & Healy Corporation will distribute the FR/FR ELIS.8 and MF.10 and the newly redesigned lightweight GR/FR LG12-SE cabinets featuring Red Sound’s RAW-P system (Real Adaptive Watt-Power) guaranteeing the maximum value of sound pressure level. The cabinets’ exponential driver and the custom Red Sound woofers are assembled in a coaxial driver configuration, eliminating phase problems in the front panel and guaranteeing a single emission point.
Emal Noor, Lyon & Healy Corporation Sales Director, says of Red Sound’s addition, “As a player of both vintage tube amps, and amp profilers, I have been using Red Sound FR/ FR stereo speakers personally on stage and in the studio, and could not be happier that they have joined our team!” Noor, who has performed in many Chicago-based bands added, “They just sound great, are indestructible, and I know musicians will really appreciate the versatility that the stereo bundles in the Elis.8 & MF.10 will offer them.”
Lyon & Healy Corporation, who has already been distributing products for many other global brands has consistently managed to add attractive partners to breed growth every single year since the company’s inception. Effective February 5th, Lyon & Healy Corporation has decided to end their long time distribution for Relish Swiss Premium Guitars. “It was a tough decision to leave a brand that we helped get off the ground so many NAMM’s ago, in 2016,” said Dolce.
Founded in 1864, Lyon & Healy is one of the oldest and most storied names in the music products industry. As part of a business group including Salvi Harps (Italy) and Lyon & Healy Harps (also Chicago), Lyon & Healy Corporation focuses on offering a portfolio of premium musical merchandise including Paoletti Guitars, Delta, SIM1 Sound Imprinting effects pedals, DOPHIX handmade guitar effects and now Marconi Labs guitars and Red Sound cabinets.
