South India Audio Meet-2013

[srinisundar]

Musicmaya is banned in HFV, so the name is not quoted here and he will be invited to join us for the meet.

Thanks for mentioning the desi manufacturer's. All will be invited to promote their product and without their support and sponsor we cannot run an huge show. They will be given due credit and importance. First we are waiting for forum exhibitors to finalize and then we will jump on outsiders and finally our dealers/manufacturers/designers to extend their support and promote their product .

Regards

Hi Srisundar,

I think paying for a Taj hotel room for two days to demo my personal equipment would be too expensive for me (probably for other hobbyists too). I guess it would be more suitable for dealers and distributors who have a commercial interest.
I would be happy to volunteer only.

Regds,
KiranPS.

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

Don't worry Kiran, the guys are looking for a good, affordable deal, and costs will be kept reasonable. I doubt very much it'll end up 5-star! Still worth asking, though: even high end hotels will bring prices down substantially for space that is otherwise not earning anything that day

 

[grubyhalo]

How about Greenpark Hotel? They have a bunch of nice, acoustically treated conference rooms that might work. Instead of multiple small rooms, one big room may work if we allot time-slots for each setup? Would be definitely cheaper than 10 small rooms, I would think...

 

[iaudio]

grubyhalo, Allotting time slots is fine. Sticking to it is the big problem.
Also then there is the matter of connecting, disconnecting and general setting up!

Iaudio,

Why shall not setup all the Set-up in a single big room and Play the music on ALLOCATED TIME SLOT.
1.NO Space will be wasted.
2.Cheap cost.
3.Protection to Set-up as it will be in same room.
4.Reflection of sond\Echo could be reduced.
5.Seek help each other,in setting up and packing things
6.As far my understanding 10 Members are interested in showcasing their setup.So can allocate total of around 45 mins per setup.15 min of 3 Session each.
7.No much risk in handling to drag or so

The only thing we need to do is, arrange for some quality Spikes ready to connect to the systems.


Within a Min disconnecting the current and playing next is easy(Like Next button in DVD)


The members who are presenting their set-up can choose their setup.

Sorry if this idea sounds funny, Just i made it as per my thoughts

 

[jaivelu]

@ Audio Freek, that's a very good suggestion. It will also help visitors and participants to listen to all the systems without missing any part.
