Experience the entire product world of professional audio technology. The focus is on live and concert sound reinforcement as well as fixed installations and studio and broadcast solutions. On the outdoor area, companies will present large PA systems under real conditions. In addition, there is an extensive supporting programme, which focuses in particular on future topics such as IP-based transmission technology and immersive audio applications.
MixLab
The new ‘MixLab’ is an interactive area that focuses on live and studio mixing consoles. It offers technology enthusiasts, sound designers, sound engineers and musicians the opportunity to try out the latest mixing console technologies, take part in practical workshops and complete certified training courses. The focus is on a creative, practice-oriented exchange that combines technology and innovation.
Silent Stage
The Silent Stage will be set up daily with several slots during the entire duration of the fair, so you can see for yourself the advantages of this presentation method.
The focus at a ‘Silent Stage’ is on minimising the noise level on stage. This effect is achieved by using amp simulations, isolation boxes, drum cages and electronic musical instruments. The concept also works without monitoring loudspeakers. The stage actors hear each other only through in-ears and an individually adapted headphone mix. The result is an almost studio-quality sound experience.
ProAudio College | Portalhaus
Audio professionals and, of course, all interested industry newcomers have a new place to go: the ProAudio College, which is being implemented together with the Verband Deutscher Tonmeister e.V. (VDT). After the great success of the 2023 event, the offer will be expanded and internationalised. In addition, the ProAudio Lounge awaits you with a variety of networking opportunities.
The focus of the lecture programme is on current trends in the sound reinforcement scene, innovations around home studio productions as well as exclusive training modules of the curriculum of the SQQ7 educational standard. This was developed by a broad-based working group under the leadership of the VDT and defines learning objectives.
Topics of the ProAudio College include hearing training, physical basics of acoustics, signal sources and signal processing, network technology and intercom systems.
Current tasks in the sound reinforcement scene are discussed at the ProAudio College, as are the latest developments in the industry. But also the core questions that every studio operator faces during productions will be discussed, as well as future scenarios and tips for newcomers to the profession.
All participants will receive written confirmation of the knowledge they have acquired. The lectures will be held partly in German and partly in English.
