Leisuretec Distribution Returns to PLASA Focus Leeds

Posted on: 20th May 2022

Following a long two year wait, PLASA Focus Leeds once again opened its doors to AV industry leaders, providing an essential platform for topical discussion, new technology and exciting business opportunities. Leading up to the show our team were incredibly excited to jump back into the fray and spend some time face-to-face with industry friends old and new. 

 

Flaunting our Facelift

PLASA Focus Leeds 2022 represented our first opportunity to really show off our new logo and corporate facelift introduced in 2021. Once we’d secured our top spot at the front of the Royal Armouries exhibition hall, Marketing Manager Charlie Henden got to work on our brand-new stand design; “We really wanted to make a splash in Leeds this year, especially since this was the first time the industry would be seeing our new look. With that in mind, we partnered with some of our brands and a new stand designer to build something eye catching and memorable to celebrate this.” 

The stand was illuminated by several CHAUVET Professional entertainment fixtures including the COLORado Batten Q15, Rogue R1 Beam Wash and Maverick Force S Profile; with a simple light show controlled by a ChamSys QuickQ 10 console. Flagged by our new logo and corporate branding, the centrepiece of the stand was most definitely the 3.75 metre LED video wall, which looped some of our most popular Product Profile overviews and educational video content. While we weren’t able to play the audio for these videos outloud, this presented the perfect opportunity to showcase the brand new Sennheiser XSW In-Ear Monitoring system. Visitors to our stand could use the system to listen to our videos via a range of headphones including the HD200, HD280 and HD300 from Sennheiser. The new XSW IEM proved very popular with visitors, as did our eye catching video content.

The northern hub for live entertainment technology provided the perfect opportunity for some of the industry’s finest brands to showcase their latest innovations and, in many cases, finally show off in the flesh products that had yet to see a trade show floor. CHAUVET Professional’s stand was packed full of new releases including the Rogue Outcast 1 Beam Wash and WELL STX, as well as sharing the stand with ChamSys’ MagicQ Stadium consoles latest updates. Electro-Voice and Dynacord showcased a range of new speakers and amplifier solutions for install and portable applications, and RCF were hyping their new HL-6 passive line array system, as well as a brand new, secret powered PA speaker that we’re not really allowed to talk about… You won’t want to miss our Product Profile on this exciting new speaker so make sure you subscribe to target="_blank">our YouTube channel for our exclusive first look.
