Amidst an economic backdrop which can hardly be considered positive, the 129th AES Convention stood out as a beacon of hope to members of the pro-audio industry around the world.
Held November 4-7 in San Francisco’s Moscone Center, the attitude among vendors and attendees alike was remarkably positive.
And why wouldn’t attendees be excited?
Aside from the obvious swath of new products displayed within the walls of Moscone, there were countless hours of unique educational offerings set forth by the Audio Engineering Society which included seminars on live sound, product design, the recording industry, broadcast audio and streaming media, and much more.
It’s safe to say the thousands who attended the 129th audio running of the bulls left with not only their want for knowledge but also their thirst for new products satisfied.
Below you’ll find a comprehensive listing of all new product offerings introduced at AES 2010 but with standout releases like ProTools 9 and the beyerdynamic RM 510 wireless ribbon microphone, it’s hard not to have a few favorites.
Hopefully you had the opportunity to make it to San Francisco this year but if not we’re happy to provide you the most complete coverage of AES 2010 available on the web and look forward to seeing you in New York next year!
