DirectOut Establishes U.S. Subsidiary

DirectOut has launched DirectOut LLC, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, following a period of strong growth and more than 15 years of presence in the United States through distribution partners.

The move underlines the company's commitment to providing faster, more localised support and services to customers across North America.

DirectOut LLC operates as a fully owned subsidiary of DirectOut GmbH while retaining a high level of autonomy, allowing the team to respond quickly to the specific requirements of the U.S. professional audio market. The new headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, also incorporates a U.S.-based warehouse, helping to streamline logistics and reduce delivery times for customers throughout the region.

Vaino Gennaro has been appointed Managing Director of DirectOut LLC and will lead all U.S. operations.

"The establishment of DirectOut LLC represents a natural, strategic next step for the company," said Gennaro. "Our expanded U.S. presence enables closer customer engagement, reduced delivery times through local warehousing, and the continued expansion of service capabilities, including authorised repair centres nationwide. As part of our long-term growth strategy, additional warehouse locations are already under active evaluation."

Gennaro added: "The new subsidiary enables DirectOut to provide direct pre-sales, after-sales, and technical support across the Touring, Playback, Integration, and Broadcast markets. With a dedicated engineering team available 24/7, DirectOut LLC strengthens support accessibility and delivers faster, more responsive solutions for partners and customers throughout the United States."

"The United States has long been one of DirectOut's most important and loyal markets," said Luca Giaroli, Strategy Manager at DirectOut. "With the establishment of DirectOut LLC, we are further strengthening our direct relationships with customers while closely aligning this initiative with our global growth strategy and upcoming expansions within the DirectOut Audio Solutions Ecosystem. This structure allows us to deliver a more tailored, customer-centric experience while remaining fully integrated with DirectOut's global vision."

DirectOut has invited partners, customers and industry professionals to meet the DirectOut LLC team at NAMM 2026 in Anaheim, California (Booth 18306) and at AES Nashville, Tennessee, on 24–25 February, where attendees can connect directly with the U.S. organisation and learn more about the company’s latest innovations.
