Audio

Pan Audio commenced operations in 1982 and over the last three decades have rapidly grown our business at a steady growth rate of over 25% per annum. They now thrive in the business of IT related peripherals, data storage, imaging, Security Solutions and presentation systems. Today Pan Audio is local representatives and sole distributors of more than 10 reputed global brands – Eiki, Red Leaf, HP (imaging & printing), Quantum, overland Storage, Dell Software, Brocade, UBNT, Asustor, Silicon Power, Dr.WEB and HSM.

Pan Audio takes great pride in representing the brands that we work with, the relationship shared between each respective member and PanAudio dates back to the date of inception in many cases. Pan Audio has always been the sole representative of every brand that comes under its umbrella in the Sri Lankan market in order to create a sense of comfort with the customers and in turn giving them the confidence to do business and stay loyal to the brand. Pan Audio has a consumer and a commercial team. Both teams work in unison to achieve maximum results.

The first privately owned fully professional Recording Studio was supplied by the company, incorporating EMT mixing consoles, Studer tape-recorders, and the first (and only) Dolby 301 audio noise reduction unit to come to this country!

The criteria set down by the company in selecting agencies and partners was, that the product needed to be well designed and needed to sound right! The Hifi Senior management & Engineering team were the sole judge of this criteria. All the agencies held by the company had to meet to this  critical criteria! Most customers purchased equipment sold, purely on the company’s reputation and were never proven wrong! This concept slowly flowed into the world of professional audio and broadcasting as well.

Going into the consumer line, after various statutory restrictions prevented this trade from blossoming, was the break the company had when a Duty-Free Complex was started in Kollupitiya. Hi-fi Centre, was the only shop that was “acoustically designed” in that complex! It was about then that Sansui Hi-Fi: Alpine car-audio: Roland keyboards: and Fender Guitars became known in the market.
