PARKER, CO, Mar. 8, 2011 — Audio Imports, newly selected by BMC Audio of Germany as its exclusive distributor in North America, will soon begin rolling out a line of high-performance, technically and visually sophisticated, affordably priced audio components. Balanced Music Concept (BMC) is an innovative developer and manufacturer of audiophile components that combine a radically different approach than other audio companies with unconventional technologies, and extreme value. Audio Imports is a leading supplier of truly world-class high-end audio products to top quality dealers, making BMC’s products an ideal addition to Aaudio Imports’ family of offerings.
The BMC story begins with its owners, Bernd Hugo and Carlos Candeias, who also serve as BMC’s managing directors. Founded in 2009, the brand is new in name only. Highly experienced designers and managers, supported by an equally capable executive team, Hugo and Candeias bring to BMC decades of accumulated knowledge and experience in high-performance audio. Both are electrical engineers who have previously founded successful audio companies, Restak by Bernd Hugo and Candeias Audio Electronics by Carlos Candeias. At its peak, Restak produced a string of award-winning audio components while Candeias Audio has grown into a mature developer and manufacturer of high-end audio electronics.

The line also includes the MCCI Phono MC, a balanced, passively equalized moving coil phono pre-amplifier, suggested price $3,890; the BDCD1 Player/Transport, featuring a belt-driven player and transport, suggested price $5,790; and the DAC1/PRE (D/A Converter/Preamp), which delivers a musical experience that lets listeners forget its digital origins, suggested price $$5,790. The RC1 All-Aluminum Remote Control is included with the AMP C1 Stereo Integrated Amplifier, the BDCD1 CD Player/Transport, and the DAC1/PRE (D/A Converter/Preamp), and also available optionally at a suggested price of $270.
