strate the Harman products, Sovico invited acapella group Snow City to give daily live performances. With a strong focus on the Asian market this year, TW Audio decided to exhibit at KOBA for its fourth year. Although TW Audio Managing Director, Bernhard Wuest- ner is a huge believer in shootout areas to demonstrate loudspeaker products in a realistic environment - a feature that is not available at KOBA - he still felt the show had other strengths that made it worthwhile exhibiting. Sound Solution displayed key products from all of its major brands which included the Spek-Trix and Metrix line array systems from Adamson, the TT+ touring and theatre range and D-Line loudspeaker series from RCF and a combination of analogue and digital consoles from Midas. For
Lab.gruppen it was the PLM, FP+ and the C Series that were on display alongside the new IPD Series launched at Prolight+Sound in Frankfurt earlier this year. The Swedish amplifi er manufacturer also presented Sound Solution with an award for ‘Best Distributor of the Year’ shortly before the show. Other audio brands represented on the show fl oor included One Systems, Elec- tro-Voice, Avid, Martin Audio, Renkus-Heinz, Sennheiser, D.A.S Audio, Peavey and Genelec, a rather respectable professional audio line-up for a show with a heavy broadcast focus. The lighting element of the show is arguably smaller in terms of the number of booths showcasing lighting technology, however, those that are present do carry a signifi cant amount of brands.
Hansam Systems distributes Martin Professional, MA Lighting, Vari-Lite, ADB and PR Lighting. The latter introduced the new LED Studio Series at KOBA, a range of LED products aimed primarily at the TV broadcasting market but is suitable for theatre applications too. Tong Suh Technology had Prolyte’s ProLyft on display, alongside ChamSys’ Magic Q and Magic Q Pro lighting consoles and Clay Paky’s Glow Up, Alpha Profi le 800 and Sharpy Wash 330 intelligent moving lights. Art Tech highlighted Avolites’ Sapphire Touch, Avolites Media’s Ai servers and from Robe the Robin Minime, Robin CycFX and the new Pointe Series were on show for the fi rst time in Korea. Korean lighting manufacturer, Lumisia attended the show for the third consecutive year. The highlight of its booth this year was the Lumi Painter Series of moving heads. Four days at this show is quite a long time if your interest is only in the professional audio and lighting side of the market, however, if your interest extends to broadcast too then KOBA is defi nitely worth a visit for an overview of the Korean market. It seems to be the favoured show by most exhibitors - there is another industry trade- show held in Korea in November - and by assessing fi gures alone, KOBA is strong. With concerns over too many tradeshows never far from thought, positive features are a must. KOBA is set to return to Coex on 20-23 May 2014. For more information go to:
