It’s impressive the level at which Calrec is operating when it comes to IP.”
Graham Murray, International Sales Manager at Calrec, commented, “Expanding our presence in South Africa is the next step in our journey in the region. Teaming up with AV Worx makes perfect sense – they’re a trusted team, known for their technical knowledge and outstanding customer support.
