VUE Lights Up InfoComm 2018 Vegas StyleAfter a whirlwind year that saw pro audio's favorite sleep-deprived entrepreneur, Ken Berger, and his motley band of speaker henchwomen take on the likes of Kendrick Lamar, N.E.R.D, Pharrell Williams, and Neon Carnival, VUE lands in Vegas this week to remind everyone why the biggest little company in pro audio is all about the future. As the curtain parts on Vue's "particularly comfortable" new booth environment, located at C418 in the audio section of Las Vegas Convention Center, June 6 - 8, the future will begin with a full-bodied espresso. Once fully caffeinated, visitors will see the latest additions to Vue's e-Class Architectural Element Systems, including the new e-351 and e-352 full range nano speakers, as well as their big-bottomed and deceptively svelte sibling, the es-269 ACM subwoofer. Rounding out the e-Class expansion is the V242 (two-input four-zone) VueDrive System Engine, which has been frothed to perfection specifically for use with e-Class systems. New products to be introduced at InfoComm include: Vue the e-351 & e-352 full range nano speakers along with the low profile es-269 ACM subwoofer in infoComm booth C418. Or better yet, arrange to experience the e-Class's esoteric audiophile quality at VUE's offsite virtual technologies 5.1 critical listening system demo. Visitors can also learn about the new V242 (two-input four-zone) VueDrive System Engine specifically designed to support the e-Class's sonic perfection. Also new for InfoComm is the hm-115, the latest addition to Vue's "no compromises" family of high-output, extended-range monitoring systems. The hm-115 is the latest evolution in a family of world-renowned stage monitors from Vue design chief, Michael Adams. Perfected and refined for more than three decades, the hm-115's impressive lineage includes classic designs that have shared the stage with acts such as Toby Keith, Frank Santana, Boz Scaggs, Rage Against the Machine, Def Leppard, Brian Setzer, Gary Allan, Lenny Kravitz, Elvis Costello, and Lucinda Williams to just name a few. Finally, in gratitude for an amazing year, Vue is hosting two customer appreciation events during the show. It all begins with an all-out hootenanny on Wednesday, June 6th from 5:30 - 8:30pm, at the Copa Room inside the Bootleg Italian Bistro. The Vue Bash will include happy hour drinks, hors d'oeuvres, raffle prizes, and live music by The Carter Hall Project. For those who prefer a little less hoot and a little more nanny, Vue will host a second event on Thursday, June 7th at Virtual Mixing Technologies. The "BBQ & Brews" block party will feature heaps of good eatin' and drinkin' options, demos of Vue's latest products, and ample time to unwind and share pro audio tales of yore with fellow pro audio veterans. Anyone is welcome at either event, but eager guests must stop by booth C418 and pick up a Vue All Access pass to ensure entry. To celebrate an already record-setting 2018, join the Vue Crew for Vue BASH 2018, a Happy Hour style event to show the company's deep gratitude for its ever-expanding customers (co-sponsor Allen & Heath). Once the booth experience is complete, attendees will have the option to visit the Vue demo studio for a chance to experience the e-Class systems in a full 5.1 configuration, as well as the al-Class Acoustic Linearity line array systems. The Vue Demo Studio is a short five-minute ride from the convention center aboard the complementary, and fully air conditioned, Vue Shuttle Express -- possibly piloted by Vue's very own Sara Elliot (unconfirmed). When InfoComm attendees have had their fill of the show floor, take a quick -- and FREE -- five-minute shuttle ride to Vue's daily off-site demo events. Hear the much-talked-about new e-class in 5.1 (in air-conditioned comfort); those not faint of heart can also step outside for hourly Demos of the new world standard in touring sound -- al-class Acoustic Linearity line array systems. 2:30 - 4:30pm: Wednesday - Join the Vue Bash afterward at 5:30pm 2:30 - 4:30pm: Thursday - Stay for the BBQ & BREWS at 4:30pm 2:30 - 4:30pm: Friday Visit the Vue booth to arrange a private demo or contact Shawn London at Slondon@vueaudio.com.
