Germany - Now under the Bosch umbrella, EVI Audio came up with a new concept for its presentation at this year's ProLight+Sound in Frankfurt. This included a live stage and a new open-plan booth design. The predominantly white décor combined with the lavish dimensions of the booth to create a sense of light and space, symbolising the birth of a new era that began with the acquisition of former parent company Telex by Bosch in September of last year, says the company.

Robert Pletz, marketing services Europe, who was responsible for the trade fair presentation, points out: "Although the booth had a fresh new look to it, we remained faithful to the values for which we are known and the strategies that have served us so well in the past. Never before, in fact, have we applied our adage The demo makes the sale quite as consistently as we did this year."

This year, Bosch had guitarist Jan Stürmer and singer Tiffany Kirkland performing daily at the booth, whilst on the Agora Stage, the Californian all-girl ACDC tribute band ThundHerStruck turned in electrifying performances throughout the fair, as did the newly created EV Funk Alliance.
