Primary Research - Sennheiser Open Day

I attended an open day event in December held at Enlightened, a local Bristol hire company. The open day was held by Sennheiser for a number of purposes:

• To showcase their new Spectera system and it's capabilities

• To showcase the SoundBase application and it's use in RF coordination

• To educate a little about how RF communication works

I found the day very informative and got to chat to some like-minded people about where they come from and the systems they use in their environments. I also talked with Marcus from Sennheiser about the best techniques in using radio antennas.

I also attended an Enlightened open day, which was like a mini-PLASA. They had exhibitors including Yamaha, Sennheiser and DPA.

I chatted with a guy from Yamaha who showed me a bit about the QL series and their newer DM3 mixer. I then had a chat with Sennheiser who were showcasing their EW-D and EW-DX wireless systems. I saw their differences and how the EW-DX systems had built-in displays, similar to older analog G3 and G4 systems. This could be useful for me in the future as I may come across this system and having a hands-on play around with it gave me the opportunity to see it's features.
