For almost fifty years now, AMS has distributed prestigious audiophile brands selected for their excellent value for money and the passion that drives their teams. Family-sized company (10 employees), renowned for its expertise and the quality of its service, we are committed to promoting access to a high-fidelity experience on the French market.
5 types of brands
Audio Marketing Services is today a distributor:
- historically a specialist in major British brands (Mission (since 1979), Musical Fidelity, Quad, Audiolab)
- leader in analog music (Pro-Ject, Sumiko),
- renowned Hi-Fi brands (Vienna Acoustics, Austrian Audio),
- relevant and affordable accessory brands (Positive Cable, Essential Audio Tools, Bringhs, Morel)
- affordable lifestyle brands (Kanto, Vifa, Morel).
Our priorities are impeccable sound quality and exceptional value for money.
Our passion for music and products
First and foremost, we're passionate about music and good sound! We enjoy promoting beautiful products, made from high-quality materials and designed to our liking.
Each member of the team brings his or her own skills to the table, some of them technical, others innovative, three of them commercial, most of them marketing... but we always keep in mind that our aim is to offer a quality product that delivers the best sound.
Our services
Our experienced and passionate team is here to support, advise and guide dealers and end-customers, with seriousness and kindness!
All our services are together in our offices in the east of Paris:
- Technical service: repair of a large proportion of our products, technical advice for our dealers and end customers, testing of new products, management of spare parts, creation of technical data sheets, etc.
- The sales department: choice of brands for distribution, with a constant focus on providing the best possible value for money and choosing responsible brands, relationships with dealers based on trust and a 'win-win' partnership, constant and dynamic sales development, monitoring of the awards and distinctions received by our products each year (and there are many!), etc.
- The marketing department: translating and making available product documentation, creating product presentation videos, creating advertisements for specialist and consumer magazines, managing social networks, managing brand websites, etc.
- The accounts department: serious, sound and independent management of the company's finances for almost 50 years!
Don't hesitate to contact us, we'll be happy to answer as quickly as possible to give you the best possible answer.
Our values
We are committed to human ecology, as our dedicated page shows.
The brands chosen by Audio Marketing Services manufacture in Europe wherever possible and guarantee respectful working conditions for employees.
From a technical point of view, the equipment is largely manufactured by hand, using top-of-the-range materials that have the least possible impact on the environment, with the help of high-precision machinery and quality components that are sometimes manufactured in-house to guarantee their compatibility and availability over the long term. The equipment distributed by Audio Marketing Services has excellent reliability (low failure rate) and a long service life in common.
Audio Marketing Services is also a philanthropic company, making donations each year to associations selected through direct personal knowledge of AMS employees. More information on the human ecology page.
Our dealers
Our network of almost 350 dealers covers the whole of France, as well as Belgium and Luxembourg, and ranges from small independent retailers to large retail chains and specialist websites.
The commercial relationship we have with most of our customers is based on long-standing trust and loyalty: we enjoy a strong, positive reputation with them. Our sales team actively maintains this network, because we see it as essential to our business as a distributor. We share with our dealers the same sense of service, working together towards the same goal: to provide the best possible end-user satisfaction by offering a high-quality product and service.
