Asian AV and broadcast systems integrator Ideal Systems has announced it has acquired Singapore based Pro-Audio specialist Control Logic Systems (CLS). The deal was announced on the opening day of Broadcast Asia 2025 and CLS managing director David Seow said: “We are delighted to become part of Ideal Systems growing AV business in Southeast Asia, and think our premium speaker bands including Fohhn Audio, Amate Audio, Revolution Acoustics, Bogen and Public Adress Systems from LDA Audio Tech and Amperes Electronics, will fit perfectly into the premium Pro-AV market space where Ideal Systems operate.
We bring with us, over 30 years of enterprise Pro-Audio experience with large scale deployment projects like networked public address system design and installation for Singapore Changi Airport Terminal-3, and to Singapore rail system (MRT) as well as churches, auditoriums, hospitality and retail markets.”
The deal will see CLS staff, and its existing stock, including a wide array of demonstration equipment being relocated from CLS and installed into Ideal’s offices, which will ensure that Ideal Systems have full audio demonstration capabilities for audio products like beam steering speakers permanently available for its customers.
Fintan McKiernan, CEO of Ideal Systems in Singapore added: “The timing is great for us, as our AV business is continuing to grow, to be able to bring in such experienced audio experts like CLS is a major boost for our AV team. With a new line-up of premium audio products and the injection of CLS technical knowledge and market experience, we are set to accelerate our growth in the market while also increasing our quality of service to our customers.”
McKiernan pointed out Ideal Systems has worked with CLS on previous hospitality projects in Penang, Langkawi and The Hilton Hotel in Petaling Jaya. “During these projects we have developed a tight partnership with CLS and over the past few years it became the logical next step to bring their audio specialisation into our AV portfolio for Southeast Asia,” he said.
Ideal Systems has 14 offices across Asia and the Middle East and is the region’s largest broadcast and media systems integrator.
