 almost May the high end month in Europe for them the biggest audio show in the western world and perhaps beyond takes place. Every place and space in the venue is booked by manufacturers and distributors looking out for visitors from many countries. High end Munich is housed in the MOTC München exhibition center for years now. There are four large halls plus atioms at the second and third floor that are surrounded by 138 demo rooms. Hundreds of brands are represented and exact number was not given yet by the organization but when I started counting names on the list on their website I had reached number 146 at the end of names starting with an A. Although the show is called High End Munich, products range from very affordable to extremely costly en from in-air monitors to loudspeaker systems so big that I can even sit in them. All kinds of nice activities are organized as well, like Dine Audio that offers a state-of-the-art recording facility to unsigned artists and bands that are selected via a contest. A link to the contest is in the show notes below this video in YouTube. Visitors can watch the recordings being made through a glass wall. Later on, you will be able to hear these recordings when you log in to the French Cobuse streaming service. A nice initiative is Sounds Clever. In hall 1 boot A15-17 en throughout the show manufacturers present complete setups costing less than 5000 euros. On the boot they can be additioned in tailor made demo rooms. In conference room K1B opposite from hall 1, two internationally acclaimed sound engineers will play back their recordings in both stereo and multi-channel. In 30-minute sessions Jean-Marie Griesen of Polyhymnia and Beth van der Wolff of Nordstar Recording will let you enjoy their master productions. On Saturday afternoon the Echo Prize Awarded Hornist Felix Klysa will present his new album with horn concerts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Classic music expert Lota Brandt will interview the Hornist. In room K2A the traditional high-end college can be found. Four days of lectures on audio, acoustics, the mains grid and even the classic JBL L100 loudspeaker. I'm invited to do a presentation on my two-way approach to loudspeaker placement. More on the high-end college in the next video.

In between two halls there is a beer garden serving the best of German beers and matching food. Bavaria is home to the most hospitable Germans and I mean that. I will be there from Thursday till Saturday and although I am not German, I am friendly too. So please feel free to speak to me. If I am not rushing to an appointment, I love to speak to you.
