AMERICAS LAS VEGAS / 8 - 10 JUNE
Following a smaller-than-usual edition in Orlando in October 2021, InfoComm returned to the Las Vegas Convention Centre in June and there was a renewed sense of optimism among exhibitors and attendees alike. As is customary, the very best and latest in AV technology was on display from some of the world’s top manufacturers as the show provided the opportunities for colleagues to reconnect again in a familiar setting.
The new PANTHER line array by Meyer Sound made its trade show debut on their newly designed booth. The lightweight and compact loudspeaker was the star attraction of the stand as the company made their first major trade show appearance in over two years. Powersoft demonstrated the haptic power of its Mover transducer and showcased the capabilities of its Dynamic Music Distribution across three walls of their booth, where visitors had the opportunity to understand how to dynamically route music and other signal sources between different zones, across multiple amplifiers, all independently of source location, and without the need for a centralised DSP. Bose Professional announced the Videobar VB-S all-in-one USB conferencing device, which delivers feature-rich video and audio conferencing capabilities to meeting booths, huddle spaces and rooms

Broadcast solutions specialists ENCO brought a preview of its fifth-generation, AI-enhanced enCaption automated captioning and transcription solution, with a focus in professional AV and live event environments. INFiLED demonstrated DB Pro Series for walls, DF Pro Series for floors, and AR Light Series for LED ceilings in their Virtual Production area. “We were excited to connect face to face with so many old and new industry friends this year after such a long period of time,” said VP of Sales, Grif Palmer. EAW displayed its latest addition to the ADAPTive line, the AC6 2-way column loudspeaker, which is fit for portable and installed applications where high-performance music amplification is required. “Showcasing the new AC6 at InfoComm is an exciting opportunity for EAW to continue connecting with and supporting the AV market,” said TJ Smith, President of EAW. The Clear-Com stand featured solutions for diverse market applications as they returned to InfoComm with new features to its Arcadia Central Station, a scalable IP intercom platform that integrates wired and digital wireless partyline systems along with third-party Dante devices in a single rack unit. “We are thrilled that the momentum of in-person trade shows is continuing,” said Chris Willis, Senior VP of Worldwide Sales, “Meeting with our partners and users face-to-face makes all the difference.” InfoComm 2023 will take place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, with the exhibits running 14 - 16 June.
