What is The Loudspeaker Sourcing Show?

The show is an annual one-stop solution for loudspeaker brand buyers, engineers and their decision makers and makers of speaker test equipment to meet directly with qualified loudspeaker factories all under one roof over the course of the three day event.

Manufacturers are hand-picked based on their business history of providing quality loudspeaker solutions (or services related to loudspeaker product solutions). Only actual manufacturers will be allowed to attend, not third party brokers.

This eliminates the painful hassles of identifying the actual manufacturer so that everything from development to quality assurance to cost can be discussed easily and openly at the show.

Manufacturers will provide technical representation so that brand engineers and purchasing agents can identify the right manufacturer for their specific needs. The show is designed to create a level playing field for the entire industry and serve up most if not all the solutions necessary for brands to do business with the suppliers.

 

Who Should Attend?

Any person who is in a decision making or speaker design position for ANY TYPE of loudspeaker brand from consumer to professional should attend.

Any company involved with speaker-related services (such as industry test equipment) should attend.

The show is for ALL segments of the industry, including consumer, commercial, audiophile, musical instrument and professional applications. ALL types of speaker applications will be included from professional 18″ woofers to consumer headphone speakers.

If you are a loudspeaker designer, engineer, purchasing head or brand name owner you should attend this show. There will be many component manufacturers exhibiting. Types of companies exhibiting include: cone/surround assemblers, spiders, ceramic cones, dust cap, voice coil, lead wire, frames, top plate, magnets, t-yokes, connector board, every component manufacturer used in the assembly of low frequency, mid-range or high-range frequency driver units will be present.

There will also be approximately 15 different loudspeaker assembly manufacturers and supporting industry manufacturers such as loudspeaker cabinet, amplifiers and packaging factories exhibiting.
