First d&b seminars take place in Thailand
Published: ASIA
THAILAND: d&b audiotechnik’s Thai distributor, One Systems Global Co, has conducted its first official d&b training seminars. The sessions ranged from seminars exploring electroacoustics through to one-day workshops on line arrays and the d&b Remote network, giving attendees the opportunity to learn more about the manufacturer's intended workflow and how it optimises performance in any of its systems.
‘The structure and content of the training sessions created by d&b audiotechnik makes them accessible to all our customers - both current and prospective,’ commented Alfonso Martín, CEO of One Systems Global Co. ‘The participants were a real mix of people with different skill levels and different reasons for attending, from some of the most respected and senior sound engineers in the country to audio guys just starting their careers at local rental companies. We also welcomed a good number of people who were considering joining the d&b family and appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the brand's systems and its value.’
The diverse mix of people attending the sessions included Suttipun Youneck, who works in technical sales. ‘I have attended other training events offered in the market and must say that there are quite significant differences on how d&b audiotechnik approaches "sound issues" and applies clever solutions,’ he enthused. ‘The hands-on approach is refreshingly different and effective.’
As well as a range of disciplines, the event proved insightful to people with varying levels of experience. This included Mr Choawalik, who has worked in audio rental for 10 years. ’The seminar on the d&b workflow was an in-depth study of audio physics and software application, but the way it was delivered made it both enjoyable and easy to understand. By involving all the participants in the content it was clear by the end of the session that everyone had understood the details and learned a great deal.’
The seminars were conducted at the One Systems Global Co new premises in Bangkok, in anticipation of its grand opening later this month. ‘There is a huge room in which to play with line arrays as well as a comfortable and cozy theory area with a huge screen,’ furthered Mr Chaowalik. ‘I would love something like this for my company.’
‘I don't believe there is anything to touch the quality and standard of these luxurious and spacious facilities in all of Thailand,’ continued Mr Youneck. ‘Probably not in all of Asia in fact!’
This all proved highly encouraging for Mr Martín. ‘It's great that we have been able to host these first official d&b audiotechnik training sessions in Thailand and to have had such a positive response,’ he concluded. ‘The One Systems Global team is looking forward to going ahead with the next set of training events, probably in January 2015.'
