Silent Stage | Hall 11.0 C50

Silent Stage of Prolight + Sound

The Silent Stage will be implemented for the entire duration of the trade fair with three slots daily at 12:00, 15:00 and 16:00 hrs, on the last day of the trade fair only 12:00 and 15:00 hrs and a 30-minute programme in each case.
The live band P.A.C.E. will present the effect of a Silent Stage. Our Partner InEar presents its integrated solutions for the future of sound technology.

Advantages of Silent Stage

The focus of "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 speakers. The stage performers hear each other exclusively through in-ears and an individually adapted headphone mix.

Properly implemented, the visitor experiences in this way almost a sound experience like that of studio recordings.

ProAudio College | Portalhaus Level 1, Room Transparenz

Visitors

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.

ProAudio Lounge | Hall 11

VDT

In co-operation with the VDT, the Verband Verband Deutscher Tonmeister e.V., a new meeting place is being created: under the name ProAudio Lounge, the association will be presenting itself and the pro audio sector in its own pavilion in Hall 11.

The new „Performance + Production Hub“ additionally expands the offer to include forward-looking topics such as live remixing and looping, controllerism as well as the latest software and apps and shows the future of digital sound creation. At the centre of the concept is the combination of product experience, knowledge transfer and entertainment.

In an elaborately designed 3.000 sqm area directly in hall 11.0, top brands will present their innovations in areas such as mixers and controllers, digital audio workstations, samplers and sequencers, synthesizers, groove boxes and effects units as well as mobile DJ equipment.

Mann am Mischpult

Learn from the pros! In many workshops, you can further develop your skills in live remixing and looping, controllerism, music production, syntablism and beatmaking in exclusive training sessions.

In the Music Production Corner, software tools meet midi controllers and beat sequencers and the boundaries between studio production and live performance become blurred. There are also specialised education stations on topics such as field recording, motion sensors and live sound branding.
