HK Audio Awards
HK Audio welcomed a convention of more than 50 international distributors to its premises in St Wendel, Germany, directly before the start of Prolight & Sound 2004. The loudspeaker manufacturer’s distributors came from as far afield as Mexico, Korea, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Russia and China. One of the highlights of the two-day event was an awards ceremony held to recognise the progress and contributions of several of the distributors.
The Award for Concert Sound Sales went to John Hornby Skewes of the UK and was accepted by Dennis Drumm and Neville Raine. SDS of Switzerland picked up the Award for Portable Sound Sales, and Stefano Pagani, Ilan Kriesi and Christian Kraska were on hand to share the glory. In the field of Install Sound Sales, the Award was won by Space Lights of Greece and collected by Klem Tokatlidis and Christos Asproulis. There was also an award for the Most Improved Distributor, which was won by Show Service of Kasakhstan.
“It’s always very difficult to single out distributors for individual praise, as every distributor has worked very hard for the success of the company,” said Andreas Mayerl, HK Audio’s international sales director.
Distributors were also treated to an outdoor demonstration of the Cohedra Coherent Dynamic Response Array system. A system of six CDR 208 T and six CDR 208 S cabionets was flown at a height of 7m and demonstrated in conjunction with 12 CDR 210 Sub subwoofers, a PR 16 Amprack and a PR 8 Amprack. The audience, listening at a distance of 120m, were amazed at the power and intelligibility of the sound, especially given that the demonstration was conducted in strong winds.
