| About
CMI |
|
CMI Music & Audio has grown to become
one of Australia's leading and most respected distributors, nationally
distributing and marketing contemporary professional musical instrument
(MI), pro audio and hi tech products.
At CMI, understanding our customers' needs is just the beginning.
Our commitment to excellence involves our collaborative approach
- we bring our knowledge and enthusiasm to align with your requirements.
The challenges faced by Australian MI and audio dealers also apply
to our business, and we are constantly looking at ways of improving
ourselves and seeking better ways to do things. We ask ourselves
how we can bring more value and a point of difference to our dealers'
businesses through our business methods and our product mix.
Recent product acquisitions have broadened our focus and now allow
CMI to service other departments of our MI and audio dealerships
with world-leading brands that cover hi tech, recording, percussion
and audio installation products; as well as offer support for large
entertainment venues, stadiums, houses of worship and government
facilities.
CMI has a team of dedicated product specialists to cover guitars,
hi tech, percussion, pro audio and installations. These specialists
are on call to answer any product or technical queries that may
arise from customers and industry professionals. Product specialists
are also available for dealer sales staff training and end-user
product education presentations. They are also able to assist in
system design and recommend the right products to suit a given project
and - where required - are also committed to on-site demonstrations.
In further assisting our product specialists, CMI has eight company-employed
account managers strategically located throughout the states of
Australia allowing quick, effective and direct service.

| The
Company |
|
CMI
Music & Audio has been wholly owned by the Trojkovic family since
its inception back in 1978. Based in Melbourne, with its head office
and national distribution warehouse of nearly 5,000 square metres,
CMI maintains a stock holding in excess of $6 million. Founder Drago
Trojkovic - in his role as managing director - was the main driving
force of the company during the early days. CMI grew to become a leading
distributor of musical and audio products directly targeted to the
retail market.
Peter Trojkovic joined the company full time in 1996 to spearhead
and implement the company's planned future growth and expansion into
the pro audio and installation markets. Peter brought over 20 years'
experience in the pro audio field, having been the founder and principal
of a concert production company in the 80s and 90s. Peter is today
involved in all aspects of pro audio markets both nationally and internationally.
In 2002, CMI sought the services of Graeme Mitchell, a proven achiever
and 25-year veteran in distribution and marketing. Graeme's appointment
proved so successful that, in 2006, he became a director and shareholder
in the company. Graeme's motivation and knowledge has seen CMI launch
into a diverse range of exciting markets, with products for newer
markets such as hi-tech, recording studios and music software now
available from CMI.
At CMI we have an intimate understanding of the guitar, hi tech, studio
and pro audio markets and we take our responsibility to our customers
seriously. We work diligently to make sure we exceed our customers'
expectations at every level. |

It’s
great to be recognized as leaders in our field by industry peers and
