The Live Sound International (LSI) Loudspeaker Demo – a.k.a., “The Ultimate Audio Experience” – is returning to the Church Facilities Expo (CFX) in Dallas this week on October 10-11, presenting the unique opportunity to listen to, evaluate, and compare more than a dozen top professional loudspeaker systems in a controlled listening environment. (Go here to register to attend free of charge.)

The event, which will be emceed this time out by a previous host, long-time audio industry veteran Bernie Broderick, has attracted nearly 10,000 attendees over the past several years. It will be held in an exhibit hall (Ballroom A3/A4) at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas, site of the CFX show.

This year’s format will feature demo sessions for both portable and compact loudspeaker systems hosted in one area. (Compact systems are larger-format, flown loudspeakers, while portable systems are smaller-format, ground-based loudspeakers.)

During each demo session, the systems are fed identical music tracks. Listeners can evaluate what they hear and also observe each system’s scale, components and other important details, in addition to getting further technical details and pricing information from qualified representatives of each company participating in the demo. Also note that manufacturers will present 20-minute individual demo sessions each day, highlighting and further explaining their own systems and technology.

Alcons Audio
Biamp
Electro-Voice
Innovox

Renkus-Heinz
TW AUDiO

Technology Sponsors:
