The Dnipropetrovsk academy focussed mainly on products from the current Electro-Voice range, such as the new ZxA1 loudspeaker family, microphones from the N/DYM, PL and RE series, CPS series amplifiers, the N8000 audio matrix and the Dx46 FIR Drive Sound System Processor, which made a particularly strong impression on attendees.
The course was conducted by Christian Greß (Electro-Voice export manager, Eastern Europe), Franz Menke (sales manager, microphones) and product manager Peter Hallstein. "The positive feedback on the Dx46 was overwhelming," reports Greß, "and no wonder, as it offers users of Electro-Voice systems not only comprehensive loudspeaker protection but also the option of six-channel FIR-Drive without complications - an extremely attractive system upgrade."
The seminars also covered more general themes of practical importance to those working in the pro sound sector: the rudiments of power amplifier technology, for example. "To impart knowledge is becoming an increasingly important objective of these seminars," says Greß. "The access we offer participants to brand-neutral information of practical importance represents an added incentive for them to attend and something for which, to judge from the exceedingly positive feedback we received from those attending this pro sound academy, they remain grateful."
The organiser of the two-day event, Andrej Garkaviy, was also more than satisfied. "The idea of including practical seminars has once again been vindicated. Many of the talks were followed by discussions in which there was a lively and productive exchange of practical ideas."
