Given the company’s focus, Mono AS will be selling many of Klipsch’s renowned product lines, including Palladium, Reference and Heritage to name a few.

Mono AS' vision is to be the preferred distribution partner for quality audio products and to offer value-added services to a selected network of retailers.
