The Live Sound International (LSI) Loudspeaker Showcase is returning to the upcoming NAMM show next month in Anaheim (June 3-5), presenting the unique (and free) opportunity to listen to, evaluate, and compare eight top professional loudspeaker systems in a controlled listening environment.
The event, which will be emceed this time out by Signal To Noise podcast co-host Chris Leonard (with co-host Michael Lawrence on the console), has attracted several thousand attendees over the years. It will be held in a large exhibit space on Level 2 of the ACC North Building at the Anaheim Convention Center.
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 30-minute individual demo sessions each day, highlighting and further explaining their own systems and technology.
Participating Loudspeaker Companies:
Alcons Audio
Axiom Pro Audio
BASSBOSS
Innovox
Technology Sponsors:
Allen & Heath (console and stage boxes)
Lectrosonics (wireless systems)
Rational Acoustics (system measurement and level monitoring)
