Explosive start for Nova New head and first distribution deal announced
FORMER ROLAND video channel manager Phil Skins has set up new operation Nova Distribution in the UK. Nova starts with a bang, as
it were, with an immediate appointment as exclusive distributor of Berlin-based Eve Audio speakers. Skins said: “Nova
Distribution is hugely excited about Eve Audio’s new range of active monitors and subs. The sound is beautiful
through Eve’s Ribbon Tweeter Technology and the bass responses are tight and controlled through Eve’s Rear Bass Port Design, not comparable to anything else. We are delighted to distribute Eve Audio’s studio monitor range, the first in a long line of great products we intend to distribute in the UK. It’s an exciting time for me and the team at Nova.” www.nova-distribution.co.uk
