Re: Listening Get Together



I do think that video addresses Doug's earlier comment and Ivan's responding point in that the response changes much more than the overall SPL level.



Have you ever attended InfoComm?  A booth may be useful to get the name out but very limited as far as actually showing much about the speakers.  A demo room and/or off site event is needed to be able to actually show a subwoofer or mains PA speaker in anything resembling real use.



Since it may be understood but I don't see where it was actually stated, apparently Big E does not actually manufacture anything, they license their designs to multiple third party 'manufacturers', which include Leland Crooks and Doug Hart, a relationship that probably should have been identified.


While on that topic, that arrangement seems oriented toward sales direct to end users and while I am not clear whether it would BigE or GC Soundworks and Hart Designs Etc. who would actually be exhibiting at InfoComm, if you are looking at InfoComm to introduce products to the professional audio and AV market then I suggest you consider how you plan to address not only technical product information but also practical issues such as how contractors, production houses and pro dealers can become authorized dealers, product inventory, distribution, warranty (and pass-though via authorized dealers), service, replacement parts and so on.  Regardless of the product, in the markets on which InfoComm is focused you also need to have the necessary support structure behind it in order to be successful.  If that is not the markets you plan on serving then InfoComm may not be the best venue for you.
