RGB Communications Partners with FlatPanel Audio to Deliver Game-Changing Loudspeaker Technology
News / 23.09.25
RGB Communications, one of the UK’s leading distributors of audiovisual solutions, has announced a new strategic partnership with FlatPanel Audio, a company redefining loudspeaker performance and design flexibility. Under this agreement, RGB Communications will distribute FlatPanel Audio’s breakthrough loudspeakers across the UK and Ireland.
A Team Behind Decades of Innovation
FlatPanel Audio is led by a team of industry veterans responsible for some of the most influential audio innovations in recent decades, including Auto-Tune, Mackie Mixers, and the first Distributed Mode Loudspeakers. Their mission is to empower AV professionals, architects, and acousticians with solutions that no conventional loudspeakers at any price can deliver.
Why This Partnership Matters
RGB Communications Managing Director Andy Atwell shared why this collaboration is so important:
“We are excited to add FlatPanel Audio to our portfolio. Their technology provides our integrators with a truly versatile solution, speakers that deliver exceptional sound performance and can be installed in ways that respect both the acoustic and aesthetic demands of any project. This partnership ensures our customers have access to unique sound wave technology that solves room sound problems old school loudspeakers make worse."
He also highlighted RGB’s ongoing commitment to giving back:
“We at RGB are proud to donate 1% of all sales (net of VAT) to UK military charities, in recognition of their role in the development of this technology.”
A New Standard in Loudspeaker Technology
FlatPanel Audio’s patented designs nearly double the coverage of conventional loudspeakers, delivering zero distortion and perfect stereo in every seat, with no dead or hotspots. Their products give integrators exceptionally greater placement flexibility and the ability to design without compromise.
Their unique diffuse sound waves prevent room echoes, comb filtering and collapsed stereo, resulting in crystal-clear, immersive audio in any environment, even highly reverberant places.
As FlatPanel Audio COO Bryan Cole explains:
“It’s what DML sound waves don’t do that makes them perform so much better, especially in reverberant spaces. Our DML500 waves don’t comb tilter or bounce off reflective surfaces. Already diffuse weaves are actually helped by reflective surfaces, so instead of doubling the distance and losing 6 dB, you only lose 4 dB.”
Bringing DML Technology Back Home
For FlatPanel Audio CEO Denny Meyer, this partnership is about more than distribution:
“DML technology was born in the UK, and we’re delighted to support RGB in bringing such a disruptive replacement technology back home.”
Moving Forward
This agreement further strengthens RGB Communications’ position as a distributor of choice for integrators seeking innovative, reliable, and design-led AV solutions. Whether showcased as a visible feature or seamlessly integrated into the architecture, FlatPanel Audio products enable uncompromising sound where reflective surfaces and acoustic treatments are impractical.
