During the seminars Frauke Jungbluth said: "We want to ensure that our dealers are not only experts when it comes to our own systems but also well-schooled in the underlying acoustic principles. This theoretical foundation guarantees competent customer support and makes is possible to provide sound individual advice."
Participants were invited to put into practice the theories they had just learned in the course of a number of hands-on sessions in the over 600sq.m Test and Demonstration Hall - an environment that recreates with maximum realism the conditions of a live concert. "This hall is perfect for the purpose," states Jungbluth. "It makes listening possible at what is the correct distance in practice and replicates the acoustics of a cinema, with a reverberation time of less than a second. There is no better way of testing and presenting systems. It gives us an enormous advantage."
Oliver Sahm, director of the technical support team pro audio, says, "Experience shows that it is what one has oneself done and experienced that leaves the most lasting impression. All the better if, as is the case with us, that impression is a highly positive one. The live test of the CXM-15 monitors and the test auditioning of the VariLine with FIR-Presets not only enthused participants but gave them goose-bumps," says Sahm. "An experience not lightly forgotten."
