COSTA MESA, CA – QSC Audio Products, LLC today announced a co-development partnership with M&W Pro Audio, Ltd. to create a series of digital audio mixing consoles. Greg Mackie and Peter Watts are, respectively the M and the W in the organizations' name.
Greg Mackie retired from Mackie Designs (now Loud Technologies) in 2003. In 2008, he came out of retirement, teaming up once more with fellow pro audio veteran Peter Watts.
After coming up with some concepts and preliminary designs, Mackie and Watts sought a partner with established sales, marketing and distribution, Mackie noted. "I had a long time personal friendship with John and Barry Andrews and knew I could trust QSC to be exactly the right partner."
"We are delighted to be working with Greg and Peter. Their passion for creating fine audio products mirrors our own," said Gerry Tschetter, QSC VP of Marketing "Our efforts to create value and performance on the ‘B-Chain' (processing, power and loudspeaker) side have yielded a number of highly successful product lines. It's great fun to be working on the ‘A-Chain' (mixing) side as well."
Design work on the products will be done by both M&W and QSC while manufacturing, distribution, sales, marketing and technical support will be handled by QSC. The first products are expected to be announced during the first half of 2011.
