No More Prolight and Sound

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So I read today (in lsi) that Prolight and Sound in Frankfurt is no more after 30 years....

RIP Prolight and Sound.

Was lucky enought to go to Prolight and Sound in in 2019.

What was really good was the outdoor arena where you could listen to various sound systems (they each had 15 minutes slots) at a really good volume.

I have attached some photos to give an idea of the size of the arena.

Whatever people think of trade shows, that arena was unique as far as I know.

Does anything like this still exist?

ie Open air, multi manufacturer system, pro demo.

	It's a sad day I used to go to Pro light and Sound almost every year. I even had a booth there as an exhibitor in 2018. I went there first in 2007 and was amazed of what I saw. The competition from Asia and ISE in Barcelona , finally killed it off. The final nail in the coffin is the decline of PRO audio in Europe and the rise in Asian competition.
