Tannoy Middle East Enjoys Well-received Seminar In Dubai

The unique invitation-only, one day event attracted over 40 attendees. Aimed at audio professionals throughout the region with an active involvement in the installed sound market, the event was an opportunity to discover the latest product innovations from the TC Group’s pro-audio brands; namely Tannoy, Lab.gruppen and Lake, as well as some insight into the market-leading DSP install solutions from Biamp Systems.
 
The well-equipped community arts theatre is one of Dubai’s best kept secrets and proved to be the perfect venue for demonstrating Tannoy’s VQ Series high performance point-source PA system and the company’s highly versatile QFlex digitally steerable column array.

Attendees were able to appreciate the full performance potential and scope of the products’ capabilities in a comfortable environment reflective of a typical working application as well as learn about the additional tools and enhancements to the systems that have been recently made available.
 
In a notable coup for the region, delegates were also treated to the very first public demonstration of Tannoy’s brand new VX Series and VXP Series, the latter featuring Lab.gruppen’s brand new IDEEA™ (Intelli-Drive Energy Efficient Amplifier) power module, ahead of the official debut demo at the InfoComm show in Orlando later this year. This proved to be a major highlight, evoking a great deal of positive and excited response from all present.
 
Mark Flanagan, Communications Manager for Tannoy, Lab.gruppen and Lake commented: “We were delighted to be able to showcase some of the new VX and VXP products here in Dubai, especially with it being in advance of the scheduled first public demonstration at InfoComm in June. It added extra impact and gravitas to the seminar and really underlined the company’s commitment and high regard for the Middle East market.”
 
During an equally busy afternoon session, Lab.gruppen and Lake presented industry-leading amplification and powered loudspeaker management platforms, with emphasis on the install potential of each of the main product ranges including PLM Series, FP+ Series and the feature-packed C Series of install-dedicated amplifiers. The Lake LM 26 standalone Digital Audio Loudspeaker Processor was also presented with some insights on its potential within large scale fixed installations as well as its obvious tour sound capabilities.
 
Rounding off the day, Biamp Systems added to the scope of the event with a presentation of their ‘Agile Networking’ philosophy to networked digital audio systems with particular focus on the application of this with its Vocia range of products.

Plans are already underway to hold another seminar at the same venue next year, as well as similar events in major markets across the world.
