And second, we’re upgrading severely on the activity schedule at the booth, hosting events at 10 AM, 12.30 PM, 2 PM and 4 PM every day of the show.
We have prepared a tightly-packed series of training sessions, interviews, talks and even a roundtable debate that gathers some of the most significant profiles in live sound today!
Check out the program below, and while you’re there, you can obviously also experience our entire Thunder | Core range of products, Control | Pack, controllers, including MOM and the brand-new DAD Junior, as well as the updated Dante Card and the new Ravenna Card with ST 2110-30 & AES67 capabilities.
