ABTT is the only dedicated forum in the UK for companies to showcase products and services aimed at professionals in theatre and auditoria. Boasting a broad cross-section of companies servicing this expanding market, over 16 audio companies are exhibiting from around Europe. New to the show are Alcons Audio from the Netherlands and Ben Ri from Spain.
With the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) coming into force later this year, many audio companies are taking a lead on this front, including installer Orbital and manufacturer Sennheiser, showcasing its Wideband SI 1015 dual-channel Infra-Red systems, which are designed to cater for sensory impaired individuals. By simultaneously transmitting hearing reinforcement and audio description, these systems cater for both hard of hearing or partially sighted and blind patrons allowing them to enjoy a theatre experience.
In addition, ABTT is the platform for the UK debut of Trantec's S6001 - the single receiver version of Trantec's international award-winning S6000 system. Sennheiser will debut its new G2 - second-generation evolution wireless system to the UK market. Total Audio Systems will showcase Pyramix Audio workstation from Merging Technologies as well as Sony's new 800 series radio mic system. Sound Network UK will release the new DPA 4088 miniature cardioid microphone to the UK market. New product from d&b audiotechnik will include its Q Series loudspeakers, the new D12 amplifier and ROPE C software, enabling remote system control and monitoring.
