Prosonic Convention Pronounced A Success

Prosonic, the dBTechnologies' distributor convention, has been reported to have been a "roaring success" by organisers and visitors alike.
With attendees totalling 70, last month's two-day event showcased the Italian loudspeaker manufacturer's newest ranges: Flexsys, DVA, DVX and Opera Digital, even seeking to compare them with their hottest rivals.
Michael Herweg, Sales & Marketing Director, said: "It was a big - and some would say brave - undertaking. Especially pitching ourselves against our competitors in live sound demonstrations."
JBL and Mackie were compared to dBTechnologies' new Opera Digital speaker ranges and Nexo was evaluated alongside the DVX range. Herweg said: "We wanted to highlight the fact that we can stand up against the big names of the industry. Really there is nothing out there with the amount of features we offer (be it power, weight or sound quality) at such a good price. Judging by the feedback we've received from some of our attendees, we've got our message across. So it was definitely worth it."
Peter Trojkovic, dBTechnologies' Australian distributor, agreed: "The new Opera Digital range has blown me away. All of the seven models have the same excellent soundshape and character, but in three different power classes. It's very hard for a customer now, not to choose a dBTechnologies speaker. The fact that dB offers software for the Digipro amps, which measures data like temperature or limiter status of the amp during its last hours' use, is fantastic and very useful for rental companies. There is nothing like it on the market."
John Taylor of Sounds Live, one of the largest dealers in the UK, said: "I was sceptical about the new wooden powered Flexsys Series speakers. I knew dBTechnologies could build phenomenal active plastic speakers, but what the R&D team created here is just great. You could call it the wooden 'Opera Digital' range because both series' use the same great digital amp technology and speaker components, but in a birch multi-plywood housing."
Full details of each of the new dBTechnologies products are available online in a new flip-view catalogue at: www.dbtechnologies.com.
The opening day of Prosonic was tailored to international distributors, with the following day consisting of more dealer-specific information with a total of 23 nations represented throughout the convention.
