Among the biggest names in professional loudspeakers, L-Acoustics (7C125, Audio Demo Room B8) continues to set the benchmark for immersive sound reinforcement. Its portfolio spans concert touring, theatre, hospitality and experiential installations, with object-based technologies such as L-ISA helping create highly realistic spatial audio experiences.

Also showcasing premium loudspeaker and amplification systems is d&b audiotechnik (7E150, Audio Demo Room D2). The German manufacturer remains a leader in high-performance sound reinforcement for arenas, festivals, performing arts venues and permanent installations, while its Soundscape ecosystem extends its capabilities into immersive audio.

Those looking for scalable line array systems should visit Martin Audio (7A300, Audio Demo Room F6), whose solutions are widely used across live events, hospitality, houses of worship and entertainment venues. The company continues to develop advanced optimisation and control technologies alongside its acclaimed loudspeaker portfolio.

Italian innovation is strongly represented by K-array, together with sister brands KGEAR and KSCAPE (7G300, Audio Demo Room B6). Their ultra-slim loudspeakers, discreet architectural solutions and integrated audio-and-lighting products are designed to blend seamlessly into retail, hospitality and corporate environments while delivering high-quality sound. 

Another manufacturer specialising in premium performance is Alcons Audio (7G500). The company's proprietary pro-ribbon transducer technology delivers exceptional clarity and dynamic range for cinema, touring, theatre and immersive entertainment applications.

Completing this group is 1 SOUND (7K200), whose American-designed loudspeakers combine compact form factors with innovative horn designs and extensive customisation options. The company's products are increasingly specified where high performance must be combined with architectural integration and aesthetic flexibility.

Professional touring and installation loudspeaker systems are also strongly represented by dBTechnologies (7H450/500, Audio Demo Room A2). The Italian manufacturer continues to develop active loudspeaker systems, line arrays, stage monitors and subwoofers that combine high output with straightforward deployment for rental, touring and installed sound applications.

Another long-established Italian brand, RCF (7D700, Audio Demo Room B4), brings one of the industry's broadest portfolios of professional loudspeakers, mixers and audio electronics. Its systems are widely used in touring, stadiums, houses of worship, hospitality and fixed installations around the world.

Where challenging acoustics demand precise coverage, Renkus-Heinz (7E600, Audio Demo Room E8) specialises in digitally steerable loudspeakers that deliver highly intelligible sound in transport hubs, places of worship, museums and other architecturally demanding spaces.

Moving now to microphone technology, MIPRO (7K150) specialises in professional wireless microphone systems, for live performance, presentation and conferencing. Its wider portfolio includes wired, lavalier, headworn, gooseneck and instrument microphones, alongside portable wireless PA systems and audio accessories. 

Relacart (7J150) showcases an extensive range of wireless microphone systems, conference solutions, in-ear monitoring and portable audio products designed for education, corporate, hospitality and live event applications.

Life-safety applications remain an important part of the Audio Zone. IC Audio (7G700) specialises in EN54-certified loudspeakers and voice alarm systems for transport, education, public buildings and commercial developments, while OPTIMUS (7D900) continues to demonstrate its expertise in public address, voice evacuation, intercom and emergency communication systems developed and manufactured in Spain.

LEA Professional (7A100) continues to showcase its cloud-connected smart amplifiers, enabling remote monitoring, control and diagnostics across multi-site installations. Built around native IoT connectivity, the company's solutions are increasingly used in hospitality, education, corporate and entertainment environments.

Efficiency is also central to the latest products from Powersoft (7F300).

For visitors seeking dependable, cost-effective professional audio systems, Wharfedale Pro (7G200) presents a comprehensive range of loudspeakers, subwoofers, amplification and signal processing designed for live sound, commercial installations and education.

Digital mixing technology is another major attraction. DiGiCo (7C100, 7D110, 7D130 and also at 4N700 in the Broadcast AV Zone) continues to be a leading choice for concert touring, theatre, broadcast and houses of worship, with its SD and Quantum console ranges providing scalable mixing solutions for productions of every size.

Spanish manufacturer Equipson Group (6R300, 7B500) demonstrates its broad installed-audio expertise under the WORK PRO brand, covering loudspeakers, amplification, DSP, audio-over-IP and control technologies for commercial, hospitality and public-sector applications.

It's also worth looking outside the Audio Zone into the Multi-Technology Zone. For example, production technology specialist Lawo is in Hall 5 (5C700) with its mc² mixing consoles designed for demanding broadcast, live production and performance environments. Its wider ecosystem combines scalable audio processing, networked I/O and the HOME management platform.

And in Hall 3, Harman Professional Solutions (3F300) once again brings together many of the industry's best-known brands under one roof.
