KOBA SEOUL
KOBA 2013 was held at the Coex Convention and Exhibition Centre in Seoul on 13-16 May. It was the 23rd edition of the Korea International Broadcast, Audio and Lighting Equipment show, which is co-hosted by Korea E&EX and Korea Broad- casting Engineering & Technicians Association (KOBETA) and is supported by a number of related institutions. A total of 839 companies from 33 countries attended KOBA 2013, an increase on last year’s figures, which also lead to an increase in floor space required. KOBA stretched across 25,405 sq metres taking over the exhibition halls on the first floor and third floor at Coex. Visitor numbers were equally impressive with a head count of 42,459 over the four-day show. Show highlights in the professional audio sector included a first outing in the Korean market for FBT’s Vertus CLA line array as well as the new QSA 112a and 112.0a active line array systems and the QSA108A compact line array system from Qube, all of which were on show at the AD&C International stand.

K-array displayed its Kobra and Python ranges and the DiGiCo desks - an SD5, SD8, SD9 and SD10 - lined one edge of the two-storey stand, giving customers easy access to the consoles for hands on demonstrations. The Yamaha stand was split into very clear sectors: the Digital Mixing Engine Zone, the Digital / Analogue Mixer Zone, Music and Post Production, and finally the Speaker and Amp Zone. This allowed visitors to navigate the booth easily. Despite having distribution in place for a few years in the Korean market, this year’s show was the first time Fohhn Audio exhibited. The manufacturer, along with its distribution partner Stagenet decided to give KOBA a go this year and both were pleased with the customer feedback they received at the show. Harman distributor, Sovico presented JBL Professional’s VTX Series of line arrays, the Soundcraft Si Expression Series of digital live sound consoles and the Crown DCi Series of amplifiers specifically aimed at the installation market.
