Visitors will see DJs demonstrating Smart Sound Direct's full complement of PA enclosures, monitors, power amps, mixers, rack-mounted effects and accessories. Exclusive to the show will be the launch of a new SmartLight range of lightweight speaker cabinets. These include bass bins which, when coupled with a power amp and mixer from the SmartLight line, provide one of the lightest portable and compact PA packages available. Visitors will also be able audition a variety of innovative products, including the CP8SP (according to the company, the only compact 1000W RMS sub-bass currently on the market) and the 'neighbour-approved' guitarists' gizmo, the Lockwood Isolation Box.
Admission is free, but only on a pre-bookable basis: anyone attending who purchases products totalling more than £500 will be entered into a free prize draw and the winner will receive a Jubilee Party PA package, worth over £500, plus a complimentary bottle of Champagne!
