Deezer, the Paris-based music-streaming service, is establishing a U.S. beachhead through the custom-integrator channel.
The company is exhibiting at the CEDIA Expo here for the U.S. launch of its Deezer Elite 44.1kHz/16-bit FLAC streaming service, which will be available only through Sonos systems sold by integrators. Integrators will get a $50 commission for signing customers for to a subscription.
The FLAC service launches Monday in the U.S. and will be followed by other levels of service later this year, said Tyler Goldman, CEO of Deezer’s North American business.
