San Francisco, CA – A significant expansion is underway for Cadac Consoles in Latin America and the Caribbean, with the appointment of Proactive Solutions LATAM as its exclusive distribution partner. The move, officially announced at ISE 2026, aims to bolster the presence of the UK-based professional audio manufacturer in a rapidly growing market and introduce its CM-system live mixing ecosystem to a wider audience. This partnership signifies a strategic step for Cadac, aligning with a broader global expansion strategy focused on delivering high-quality audio solutions to professionals across the region.
The collaboration between Cadac Consoles and Proactive Solutions LATAM isn’t simply a commercial agreement; it’s a commitment to providing localized support, training, and access to cutting-edge audio technology. For audio engineers, rental companies, and integrators throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, this means easier access to Cadac’s full product line, including the innovative CM-system, alongside fiber-optic infrastructure solutions within the MegaCOMMS platform. The partnership is expected to streamline logistics and enhance technical support, addressing a key demand within the regional professional audio landscape.
According to James Godbehear, Director of Marketing and Business Operations at Cadac Consoles, Proactive Solutions LATAM was selected due to their established track record and technical expertise. “Proactive Solutions LATAM brings more than two decades of success representing premium audio brands across the region,” Godbehear stated. Their “deep technical capability, strong market presence, and commitment to an ‘audio-first’ philosophy align perfectly with Cadac’s values.” This alignment is crucial for Cadac as it seeks to establish a strong foothold in a competitive market.
Expanding Access to Professional Audio in Latin America
The CM-system, at the heart of this expansion, represents a significant advancement in live sound mixing technology. It’s a comprehensive ecosystem designed for flexibility and scalability, catering to a wide range of applications from live concerts and festivals to corporate events and theatrical productions. Beyond the consoles themselves, the partnership will also bring access to the CM-RT12 optical router, optical MADI and Dante bridges, and the SR stage-rack control iPad app, all part of Cadac’s expanding MegaCOMMS infrastructure. This comprehensive approach aims to provide complete solutions for complex audio setups.
Berenice Gutiérrez, General Manager of Proactive Solutions Latin America, emphasized the importance of this alliance for the region. “The alliance with Cadac Consoles is a milestone for Latin America,” she said. “This iconic brand, with 50 years of leadership in quality, experience and cutting-edge technology, raises our standards and empowers professionals in the region like never before. We are excited to bring their legacy to every stage.” The sentiment highlights the potential for Cadac’s technology to elevate the standards of audio production throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
Technical Capabilities and Regional Support
Oscar Tovar, Engineer and Technical Sales Director at Proactive Solutions LATAM, described the Cadac consoles as “a precision surgical tool,” praising their minimal latency, superb preamps, and intuitive workflow. This emphasis on technical performance underscores Cadac’s commitment to providing professional-grade equipment for demanding applications. The availability of local support and specialized training, facilitated by Proactive Solutions LATAM, will be critical for ensuring that users can fully leverage the capabilities of the CM-system.
The partnership extends beyond simply distributing products. Proactive Solutions LATAM has already undergone technical training on the CM-system and is preparing to launch a program of demonstrations and presentations across the region. These events will target rental companies, sound engineers, and media professionals, providing hands-on experience with the technology. This proactive approach to education and outreach is designed to build awareness and drive adoption of the CM-system within the Latin American and Caribbean markets.
Cadac Consoles’ decision to expand its distribution network reflects a broader trend within the professional audio industry – a growing demand for high-quality, reliable equipment in emerging markets. The company’s return to manufacturing in the UK, coupled with the ongoing development of the CM-system ecosystem, positions it well to capitalize on this demand. The partnership with Proactive Solutions LATAM is a key component of this strategy, enabling Cadac to reach a wider audience and establish a stronger presence in a strategically important region.
Looking Ahead: Demonstrations and Training
The initial phase of the rollout will focus on providing comprehensive training to the Proactive Solutions LATAM team. This will ensure they are fully equipped to support customers with technical expertise and provide effective training programs. Following the training, a series of demonstrations and presentations are planned for key cities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. These events will offer potential customers the opportunity to experience the CM-system firsthand and learn about its features, and benefits.
Proactive Solutions LATAM will represent Cadac Consoles’ complete product line, including the expanding portfolio of fiber-based MegaCOMMS infrastructure. This includes the soon-to-be-launched CM-RT12 optical router, optical MADI and Dante bridges, and the SR stage-rack control iPad app. The availability of these integrated solutions will provide customers with a complete ecosystem for managing complex audio setups.
The partnership between Cadac Consoles and Proactive Solutions LATAM represents a significant investment in the Latin American and Caribbean professional audio markets. By providing local access to cutting-edge technology, comprehensive support, and specialized training, the two companies are poised to empower audio professionals and elevate the standards of live sound production throughout the region. The next step in this expansion will be the announcement of specific dates and locations for the upcoming demonstration events, which are expected to seize place throughout the spring and summer of 2026.
