For the 15th time, more than 100 magazines from all over the world voted to determine the best musical instruments and audio equipment of 2013-2014 in more than 40 categories of the MIPA Musikmesse International Press Award. The winners were presented with the awards at a special ceremony and party held during the Musikmesse / Prolight + Sound on Thursday, March 13.

More than 300 international representatives of musical instrument and audio equipment manufacturers and distributors got together for the 15th MIPA award show, including guests from more than 20 countries -- suggesting the MIPA Musikmesse International Press Award is established as the "Grammy" of the musical instrument/pro audio industry. To celebrate the 15th MIPA Awards, the PIPA Prolight + Sound Press Award was presented for the first time and K2 received the award in the category of "Best Concert Sound" product.

Stéphane Ecalle, L-Acoustics marketing director, who was representing the French manufacturer at the ceremony says: "The 250 employees of L-Acoustics are delighted and honored to receive such a distinction for K2. We realize that the international press has echoed the market reaction to this brand new system, which has already distinguished itself during the Winter Olympics ceremonies and counts 60 early adopters worldwide. What better start could we have hoped for for K2?"
