Representatives from all three companies will be available throughout the event to discuss the best practices for utilizing all three brands during a production. "Following the open dialogue we had at our first event in Los Angeles, we recognize how valuable the Sound Summits are to our sound mixing user base and were inspired to improve and develop new products for, and communications to, the industry," says Christian Poulsen, CEO of DPA Microphones. "We're very much looking forward to this Chicago event, as well as future Sound Summits, such as the one planned for Atlanta later this year. We're confident each one will only grow larger and more popular." "We're extremely excited to host the second Sound Summit event because it allows us to share ideas and learn from the community in a relaxed setting," says Karl Winkler, director of business development at Lectrosonics. "We anticipate the Chicago event to be very valuable and to be able to host future events in other large metropolitan areas in the coming year." "It's always great to have the opportunity to get together with our users and peers to discuss and learn more about the current trends in sound mixing," says Paul Isaacs, vice president of marketing and product design at Sound Devices. "The LA event exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to meet with our current and potential customers from in and around Chicago."
