Starting February 1, 2024, customers in Italy, San Marino, and Vatican City will work with RM Multimedia as Canto USA International’s exclusive distributor in Italy. The partnership gives venues and integrators local access to RETRO Series LED retrofit houselights, product guidance, technical support, and training.
With RM Multimedia handling local sales and support, customers can get help with product selection and project coordination without navigating international procurement alone. Learn more about the RETRO product line on the RETRO Series LED retrofit kits page.
This distribution agreement strengthens Canto USA International’s presence in the region while giving RM Multimedia another professional lighting solution for theaters, performance venues, integrators, designers, and dealers.
Expanding Canto USA Distribution in Italy
RM Multimedia supplies professional lighting and video equipment for theaters, live events, installations, and other entertainment applications. The company also provides technical assistance and product training when projects require additional support.
Its network of commercial agents throughout Italy gives customers local help during product selection and the sales process. That established presence gives Canto USA International a stronger way to support venues, integrators, lighting designers, and dealers throughout the region.
“We are excited about this new collaboration, which we believe can be profitable for both our companies,” said Paolo Dozzo, CCO of RM Multimedia.
“We are thrilled to close a distribution partnership with one of the leading distribution companies for the Italian market,” said a Canto USA International spokesman. “Canto USA International and RM Multimedia share the same passion for quality and attention to customer needs. Coming to this agreement was a natural process.”
Bringing RETRO Series LED Retrofit Products to More Customers
The partnership includes Canto USA International’s RETRO Series, designed to convert compatible houselights and other existing fixtures to LED while allowing facilities to keep much of their current lighting infrastructure.
Depending on the application, theaters and other venues may be able to retain existing fixture housings, wiring, sockets, and dimming equipment instead of replacing the entire system. The RETRO Series supports a range of dimmer types, including SCR, TRIAC, and IGBT systems, and is intended for projects where converting to LED while preserving much of the existing installation is preferred.
For theaters, auditoriums, schools, houses of worship, and other performance spaces, this creates another path to LED while using compatible equipment already in place.
Through RM Multimedia, customers in Italy, San Marino, and Vatican City have a local source for Canto USA International products, technical information, and project support.
RM Multimedia continues to list Canto USA among the brands it distributes, reflecting the ongoing relationship between the two companies.
RETRO Series LED Retrofit Kits
Canto USA’s RETRO Series Fully Dimmable LED Retrofit Houselights
The RETRO-Fusion® 2.0 and RETRO-Passive® 2.0 are phase-dimmable, variable-wattage LED engines designed to work with older SCR, TRIAC, and IGBT dimmer systems as well as compatible newer dimming systems.
These retrofit products replace existing lamps and can be used in a range of theatrical and architectural lighting applications. Standard and custom mounting options are also available to accommodate different fixture and installation requirements.
RETRO gives facilities a way to move to LED without tearing out houselight fixtures that are still in good shape. For venues evaluating a retrofit, Canto USA and RM Multimedia can provide product details and next-step resources to help determine compatibility and project scope.
