The Audio Demo Rooms are a free-to-attend feature located in Hall 8. Across the four days of ISE, 31 January – 3 February 2023, visitors can fully immerse themselves in the latest audio innovations in a controlled, specialist environment. Exhibiting brands including AED Group, Coda Audio, d&b audiotechnik, Holoplot, Martin Audio, Pioneer PRO AUDIO and Void Acoustics will provide rotational live demos throughout each day, including an exclusive guest appearance with CODA Audio from iconic French electro musician and composer, Jean-Michel Jarre.

The launch of the Audio Demo Rooms follows a period when ISE worked closely with a group of leading audio companies to conceptualise and produce this exciting new show floor feature. Each demo room has been specifically tailored to the requirements of each manufacturer, ensuring optimal listening conditions for visitors.

Mike Blackman, ISE Managing Director, comments, “We are delighted that we can offer audio companies what they desire at the Fira Gran Via, the opportunity to demonstrate 360º immersive audio solutions to full effect. Audio plays such an important role in the creation of unique AV experiences, so it’s only right that we can feature it fully at ISE.”

Martin Audio — ISE Audio Demo Room — Hall 8 / F1

James King, Director of Marketing, Martin Audio: “The Audio Demo Rooms are a vital resource for manufacturers like us to have our products heard by a large audience, who may not have normally had the chance. They also provide an opportunity for our distributors to bring their clients along to hear the systems in action and get product insights and advice directly from us as the manufacturer. We know that this kind of support will often help our partners to close a deal, so it is a service that we really value.

Our demonstration will showcase core product lines largely divided up by throw distance. So for up to 15m type applications we will showcase our ADORN commercial series and our install staple CDD series. This will be followed by TORUS, our constant curvature, designed for 15-30 meter throws and concluded with our Wavefront Precision optimised line arrays, WPM and WPS for throws of over 30 metres. The Martin Audio press event will take place in the demo room at 2.30pm on January 31st.”
