Martin Audio will host three days of application-led demonstrations at its High Wycombe headquarters in September, alongside sister brands TiMax, Linea Research and Optimal Audio.
The UK Open Days will run from September 22-24, with five sessions covering installation and live sound applications across hospitality, stadium, nightclub, theatre and festival environments.
Projection mapping and immersive audio will be used to place visitors within each scenario, with demonstrations showing how technologies from the four brands can be combined to address different system design and operational requirements.
Martin Audio will demonstrate products including the upgraded Wavefront Precision series alongside BlacklineQ, CDD, FlexPoint and Torus.
TiMax will provide spatial rendering, while Linea Research amplification will be used across the demonstrations. Optimal Audio will showcase its ecosystem for small and medium-sized commercial venues, with a focus on audio performance and simplified control.
“We want to go beyond spec sheets and provide real-world scenarios to which the industry can relate, whilst showcasing how the brands can provide an enhanced solution and a competitive edge to installers and rental partners alike,” said James King, marketing director.
Sessions will explore issues including designing hospitality systems for untrained staff, extending stadium revenue opportunities beyond match days, supporting DJs and nightclub environments, increasing the flexibility of auditoriums and managing festival sound while limiting noise impact on neighbouring areas.
The event is aimed at AV installers, system integrators, consultants and live sound professionals, with the same programme running each day from 09:30 to 17:00.
This year’s event will also raise money for industry charity BackUp Tech. Attendees will pay a £5 registration fee, with the full amount donated to the charity, while the four-brand group will match the contribution for each person attending.
The organisers are targeting a total donation of at least £4,000.
The UK Open Days will take place at Martin Audio’s Century Point headquarters in High Wycombe, with visitors able to attend for a single day or across the full event.
