I’d personally like to thank Duncan, Sherryn and the whole of the DWR team for organising a weekend visit to a game reserve so all the animals could see the new African Queen, Sarah Rushton-Read! And that was on top of organising all of us at the show too. Other companies which had large stands and a number of manufacturers repre- sented included Prosound with Rane, One Systems, Dynacord, Electrovoice and Furman plus new brands Eurotruss and PR Lighting. Prosound was celebrating its 40th anniversary and held mini concerts at the end of each day. Having recently taken on Green Hippo, Electrosonic had tutorials running throughout the day, as well as showing Martin Professional and ADB on the show fl oor. Movievision show- cased its extensive range of products including Rosco, DTS, Kupo and Le Mark. As well as the standard exhibits, the show also had an extensive seminar pro- gramme and associated events including networking breakfasts organised by the trade association SACIA. Another area that had shown growth, and proved very poular, was the outdoor sound demonstrations, systems on show included Martin

Audio, L-Acoustics, D.A.S. Audio and domestically designed brand Hybrid from Viva Afrika. The show had its highest footfall to date with 6,924 visitors, including 424 interna- tional attendees. Interestingly, there were only 197 from countries in Africa, which upon fi rst glance seems quite a low fi gure. However, further investigation lead to the explanation - the cost of getting to South Africa made the trip unaffordable, but the number is growing and it is inevitable that this show will be where the buyers come as countries develop and require new technologies. This year’s show had a feel about it that I haven’t witnessed since the PALA, Singapore show in the mid ‘90s, when a lot of companies were just getting set up in Asia. Mediatech has the same vibe and that can only be good for the industry. I actually didn’t want to leave but my fl ight was calling from the recently renamed Rushton-Read International Airport! Mediatech is scheduled to return to the Coca Cola Dome on 15-17 July in 2015. For more information go to:
