Gear News: Hyperactive, New EBS Distributor in Germany and Austria
EBS Professional Bass Equipment is proud to announce Hyperactive Audiotechnik GmbH as its new exclusive distributor in Germany and Austria, effective March 1, 2026.
Germany is the largest domestic market for musical equipment in Europe, and is significant to EBS. Partnering with Hyperactive will strengthen the brand’s presence and make EBS products more accessible to bass players in both Germany and Austria.
“We are confident that Hyperactive is the perfect partner for EBS,” says Bo Engberg, CEO of EBS. “Their deep market knowledge and commitment to high-quality brands will allow us to maintain the high level of customer support EBS is known for, while growing in the direction we want.”
EBS’s reputation for delivering musically transparent sound that respects the character of the bass is solid. EBS products are designed to let the personalities of both the bass player and their instrument shine, while offering powerful, tone-shaping tools to set the stage for different genres.
In recent years, EBS has also expanded beyond the traditional bass market with innovative, space-saving pedalboard accessories, most notably the original flat patch cables, widely used by both bassists and guitarists worldwide.
Hyperactive has extensive experience distributing premium music equipment brands. Their network, industry expertise, and shared vision for long-term growth make this partnership a natural fit.
“We are proud to welcome EBS to our brand portfolio. With our strong dealer network and clear brand strategy, we look forward to further developing EBS in Germany and Austria and increasing the brand’s visibility in both markets”, says Marc von Garnier, CEO of Hyperactive.
EBS expresses its gratitude to its former distributor, Sky Music Distribution, and looks forward to beginning this next chapter with Hyperactive Audiotechnik GmbH to deliver uncompromising bass tone, innovative design, and reliable performance to musicians all over Germany and Austria.
