the current state of Lectro sales in Europe

[Ludovic Lasserre]

Hey guys,
I'm sure this overlaps some stuff discussed here many times, but all
the stuff I seem to find goes back a year or more and is outdated, so
I thought I'd just ask.
Basically, what is now the state of Lectrosonics products sales in
Europe, to this day? Are they finally allowed again or what? I'm
particularly interested in the UK or France.
I saw that one of the biggest kit places in Paris announced recently
(a month ago or so) that they'll have them for sale soon (they only
seemed to talk about a part of the catalogue, though. Only SMAs, SRs,
etc... No UCRs and UMs). No prices announced on the internet yet:

I cant' seem to find anything in the UK.

So basically, if I'm in London or anywhere around here-ish and wanna
buy in the coming months a couple of SMs with an SR or something along
those lines, what do I do? :) What about UCR411s and UM400s?

Cheers

Where in Holland was that?
You mention B&H, are you implying it's just still better to get them
from the US? Is it possible at all, though? (isn't it illegal for them
to sell stuff to someone in a country which has an authorized importer
& resellers for the same product?)

Hi Ludovic,
We are indeed back, committed, and shipping product. Only the latest
gear will be sold in Europe since getting approvals is costly both in
Euros and in engineering time. Demand will determine what the final
mix of products will be. We have multiple dealers in the UK and at
least one dealer in most Euro countries. Our new European factory
representative, Jim Bakker, is here now, being indoctrinated at our
state of the art training center (a blackboard and two pieces of
chalk).

Service will be our biggest problem. We have at least four Euro
dealers with some repair capability with two making firm plans for
factory training and the purchase of the necessary RF gear. For the
next year, if the warranted Euro product is returned to the Euro
dealer and it is determined that it is broke and beyond the dealer's
immediate ability to repair, Lectro will pay the airfreight to and
from the factory. This will put warranty repair times on the same
footing as U.S. customers plus a few days. Currently our repair times
at the factory are running three days average.

Thanks Larry, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
I'll be in touch with some of those dealers.
So then I take it there are no plans for now to adapt the 400 series
to the euro market?
Best,
Ludovic

Not at the moment. Again, it's up to the customers.
