Amongst others, d&b audiotechnik will show new audio products, including the compact E-Series, the E4 loudspeaker and the T10, a loudspeaker that encompasses both line array and point source technologies in one package. Jason Waggoner from the education and application support team will also present Demystifying Audio, using demonstrations and experiments to guide his audience through the principles of acoustics, from the loudspeaker to the listener's ears.
