8-21-2016 -- Hybrid Audio Technologies and AVIDWORX Productions are teaming up to offer a selection of branded Hybrid Audio sound stages. The program will boost the visibility of Hybrid for retailers in an affordable way, while providing customers with an opportunity to experience Hybrid quality sound.

“Hybrid Audio Technologies are obsessed with speakers and sound quality, and it shows in everything they do,” says AVIDWORX president Marcel Newell. “This program provides Hybrid and their retailers that passion for audio quality with customers, while educating them on different lines and features that are available. We’re changing the sales floor conversation from ‘What is Hybrid’ to ‘Why you should invest in Hybrid for your vehicle.’”

Adds Scott Buwalda, founder and CEO of Hybrid Audio Technologies, “We are pleased to now offer viable displays, and a lucrative display program for our dealers to show why Hybrid products ‘Sound Better.’”

Both M3-3 and M3-5 sound stages are available with the program, allowing retailers to showcase up to four or eight speakers respectively.

To incentivize retailers, AVIDWORX is offering rebates of $578 for the M3-3 and $678 for the M3-5 with proof of installation. As well, Hybrid Audio will be providing retailers with free display product with the purchase of appropriate backing product.

Retailers can purchase the systems from AVIDWORX directly by visiting www.avidworx.com/hybrid/, or lease-to-own on whatever schedule works for them. With a 48-month lease, monthly payments start at roughly $75/month.

Sound Stages are available to order now in white, premium graphite or black finish, and will start shipping early Fall 2016.
