Live presentation sees d&b V-Series arrive in Japan
Published: ASIA
JAPAN: A Tokyo live event recently saw the introduction of d&b audiotechnik’s V-Series to the Japanese market, reportedly drawing ‘the great and the good’ of the domestic industry to Shinagawa Intercity Hall in late September. The event also saw the company’s new sales director for Japan, Masayuki 'Mack' Miyamura, meet customers for the first time.
‘We've done it before, but never had such a response,’ enthused Shinchiro 'Yone' Yonekura following the event. ‘Everyone knows we are very conservative in Japan, even in pro audio, so when I decided the best way to introduce the new V-Series was a practical demonstration in a proper live venue I invited many people; sound engineers, system designers, audio consultants, and our dealer network of course; but I didn’t expect over a hundred people to turn up.’
Mr Yonekura deployed a left-right system for the event comprising seven V8 loudspeakers per side, drawing praise from attendees including MSI Japan system tech engineer Takuya Sugawara. ‘The system performed flawlessly,’ he enthused. ‘We were all very impressed. It had that classic d&b voicing to which we have all become accustomed and considerable power for a small to mid-size line array.’
