On the weekend of September 16th/17th, the newly branded National Audio Show (previously held in Northamptonshire) comes to Birmingham. The venue will be the ICC and the 7th floor of the Hyatt Hotel just across the road, both situated in Broad Street, near the Symphony Hall. The show runs from 10am-5pm on Saturday, and 10am-4pm on Sunday. Despite these venues being visible from the little audio company's premises, we will be exhibiting at the show. We will have the KEF LS50 Wireless loudspeakers set up to perfection(on dedicated Custom Design speaker stands) with an Innuos ZENith as a digital source for the most part. The possible talking point of the system may be the Elipson Omega 100 RIAA BT Carbon turntable, which will be using its onboard phono stage to convert to a line level signal, with the resulting signal being sent via Bluetooth to the LS50 Wireless. I'm toying with a few things with regards to music - for the most part, and for convenience, the Innuos will be providing CD quality and hi-res streaming, with an "on the hour, every hour" run with vinyl for 15-20 minutes, or maybe alternate between digital and analogue every half hour. Decisions decisions...

In addition to the above, the Custom Design stands that will be used for the weekend will be the new LS50 Wireless design, not the current LS50 stand (size difference due to depth of the active version). I believe this will be their first public outing in the UK.

Quite a busy and enjoyable first day! Lots of surprised faces after finding out the record they'd just listened to was transmitted via Bluetooth to the LS50 Wireless!
Roll on tomorrow...

Quite a few familiar faces popped into the room over the weekend - good to see some of you, a few I haven't seen since since the Bristol Show, but many I hadn't seen for almost a year or more.
Good weekend overall, plenty of interest in the LS50 Wireless and Innuos products, but particularly the Elipson turntable. Roll on The Home Hi-Fi Show in Harrogate in October, which is the next show I'll be exhibiting at (products to be decided).

I’m just awaiting to hear from Auden Dustribution as to their plans for the show and if they’ll need me to help out. If he does, I’ll be there all weekend. Either way I’ll pop along, as it’s about 6 miles from my home
