Accordingly, the presentation of the complete mixer, loudspeaker, and electronics product portfolio was tailored to the needs of the installation audience. For example, the participants discussed the Powermate with regard to its DJ function for small installations in bars and pubs. Other themes included DSP 600 and P64 processing, DSA amplifiers, and VariLine Series loudspeakers, hands-on sessions, and practical tips.
"The signal-processing workshop was a particular highlight," says Andreas Köstlinger. "The versatile application range and outstanding performance of the DSP600 or the P64 with FIR filters and IRIS-Net in the installation market were clearly demonstrated. When combined with the DSA power amplifiers and their patented Variable Load Drive, completely new possibilities arise."
Based on positive feedback from the participants, Danner concludes, "Every single participant took part with great enthusiasm. It's always a pleasure to welcome customers to our factory, to see how Martin Traut's amp show puts a grin on their faces, and how VariLine's sound quality continually gets even long-time customers really excited."
At the end of the Academy, the participants had another highlight to look forward to. Danner: "At the Gäubodenfest, our local beer festival, everyone got the chance to contemplate past and future projects with a stein of beer, some Bavarian specialties, and the sound of Cobra-4."
