Bavaria-based Cerberus Media Solutions was set up in 2023 by pro-audio experts, gaining their expertise through years of working across the industry for StageTec.

Cerberus Co-Founder and MD Rene Harder, who rose to MD after a successful career working across pro-audio IT technology/software creation and technical business development, said, “We founded Cerberus Media Solutions for the distribution of pro audio products to broadcasters across Germany. We could clearly see there were – and are – significant gaps in the market across the country when it comes to broadcast IP technologies and understanding, alongside remote production deployment. Calrec leads the market globally across these fields: this is a huge win for us and for the German broadcast sector.”

Cerberus already has extensive, in-depth relationships with broadcasters, OB service and technology suppliers as well as system integrators. Dave Letson, VP of Sales at Calrec, said, “The problems Cerberus has identified across the German market, Calrec already has solutions for. One of the key topics we have discussed is the challenges around remote production; we’re hugely experienced, with a global reputation for excellence, via already implemented solutions with broadcasters of all sizes.

“Calrec has well-established relationships with many system integrators who operate across the German market via projects completed in other countries. These system integrators already have a good level of understanding with Cerberus able to leverage this to everyone’s advantage.”
