HME Pro Audio Merges With Clear-Com

Clear-Com, an Emmy Award-winning voice communication systems provider, has merged with HME Pro Audio Division, following HME’s recent acquisition of Clear-Com.

Clear-Com said the merger of HME’s existing channel partners into Clear-Com’s global distribution network makes it “the largest distributor of professional intercom, as well as the provider with most extensive wired and wireless intercoms on the market.”

The HME wireless products joining the Clear-Com fold include the flagship 2.4GHz DX-series digital systems and UHF PRO850 system. These products join Clear-Com’s existing portfolio of Basic, Advanced and Expert wireless systems.

HME’s Pro Audio staff in sales, product management and support are now part of the Clear-Com team. These transfers include John Kowalski, director of U.S. broadcast and network sales; Jennifer Cassidy, sales manager–military aerospace, government; and Rick Molina, applications engineer. Mike Hughes has also joined Clear-Com as the VP of new business development, seeking new business opportunities while continuing his efforts with HME house accounts, OEM and football sales.

“With the integration of the HME Pro Audio Division into our organization, Clear-Com is now a much stronger company with more resources and capabilities to offer best-in-class professional audio intercom solutions and exceptional customer service and support,” says Matt Danilowicz, president-managing director of Clear-Com. “Our parent company, HME, is known for its wireless expertise, customer service and manufacturing excellence; while Clear-Com is legendary for its breadth of party-line, matrix and IP solutions as well as customer focus. As customers continue to demand high quality, reliable intercom products and excellent technical support, we believe combining our strengths will greatly enhance our ability to better serve our customers and the marketplace.”
