For the 2019 iteration of its International Distribution Meeting, NEXTproaudio kicked off proceedings with a dinner to welcome the more than 70 international distributions partners, dealers, customers and designers, who arrived in Porto on 14 October. The following morning, the guests were given a factory tour during which the recent expansion of the headquarters was showed-off, as well as a demonstration of the company’s new ultra-compact passive line array element, the LA26. On the same day, during the afternoon, NEXT-proaudio demonstrated the LA212x, LA122.v2, LA122A and LAm114xA at Multiusos de Guimaraes – an iconic arena for international concerts on the north of Portugal. The event concluded back at the NEXT-proaudio facility, where various presentations took place, including Powersoft’s ‘Armonia’ based on N-rak – the manufacturers power rack solution using Powersoft X8 amplifiers.
NEXT-proaudio Owner Antonio Correia also gave a presentation on the manufacturer’s own software – Soundware, Audio Tool and AST. “This was a great opportunity for us to show our distribution network all our improvements on the facilities, products and team,” commented Correia. “We were more than happy to receive all these people from different parts of the world, all with the same ambition, to grow NEXTproaudio worldwide. Sergio Pinto, NEXT-proaudio Sales Manager, added: “It was exciting to see everybody’s passion and enthusiasm. We´re proud of our team and the distribution network. Our LA26 was a highlight of the event, with orders of more than 200 units after the meeting. We couldn’t be more satisfied.” TPi Photo: NEXT-proaudio www.next-proaudio.com 10
