Martin Audio Japan (MAJ), which had been unable to hold any demo showcases over the last 18 months due to pandemic restrictions. recently staged an outdoor showcase demo of its WP Series line arrays at the ancient ruins of the newly opened Ama Site Park in Takatsuki, Osaka.
MAJ director Sam Yamashita explains, “Holding the demonstration outside ensured there would be sufficient space for the social distancing as well as fresh air. We had originally wanted to introduce WPL to customers back in 2019, but due to COVID it was postponed.”
He adds that the site also better showed the capability of WPL as the previous theatre context: “WPL has long throw capabilities that could not be properly evaluated in a theatre. So, I had the idea that by holding the demonstration outdoors, it would solve both social distancing issues and give us the space to evaluate this powerful system to its full potential.”
The event, which presented both WPS and WPL arrays, had more than 50 people in attendance. “Having them enjoy the music so much was a pleasure for the MAJ team as well,” Yamashita concludes.
