Former Tweeter co-founder Sandy Bloomberg has been named president of ZVOX. Bloomberg will be charged with expanding ZVOX's distribution through resellers in the United States and through distributors in other parts of the world.
Bloomberg will also be heavily involved with product development and long-term strategic planning for ZVOX, which specializes in single-box home theater solutions.
“With ZVOX, my vision is to bring products to market that consumers love while earning a place as a valued supplier to any merchant selling low margin video displays,” Bloomberg says. “The audio category is what I have done my whole life - I want to give retailers useful tools to help them be successful so that everyone - the salesperson, the store and ZVOX are all happy at the end of the day.”
“Consumers are realizing that TV sound quality is getting worse as the displays get thinner and thinner,” Bloomberg added. “I can help teach retailers how to improve their audio attachment rate, enhance their gross margins and all while making the customer far happier in the process.” Bloomberg emphasized that ZVOX will focus on dealer training and point-of-sale materials as part of a comprehensive program that he is confident will increase audio sales in showrooms.
Bloomberg, who was recently inducted into the Consumer Electronics (CE) Hall of Fame by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), began selling audio in 1969 and co-founded Tweeter in 1972.
After Tweeter filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2007, Bloomberg sold the company to Schultze Asset Management, LLC. Tweeter closed its doors in Dec. 2008.

Congratulations to both ZVOX and Sandy. This sounds like a marriage made in heaven and should serve them, the industry as a whole and audio conscious consumers extremely well.
