And just like that, another PLASA Show is done!
We had a brilliant three days at Olympia London, with Stand E12 packed with the latest professional audio, lighting, video and special effects technology from across our leading brands.
There was plenty of new kit to get hands-on with, a couple of UK show debuts and some spectacular live effects - but as ever, the biggest highlight was seeing many of you face-to-face.
If you joined us at the show, thank you for stopping by! And if you couldn't make it this year, here's a look back at some of our highlights from PLASA London 2026.

MAGIC FX Eco2jet and Sparxtar Make Their PLASA Debut!
It's fair to say that MAGIC FX wasn't exactly keeping a low profile on Stand E12.
Making its PLASA London debut, the Eco2jet was suspended above the stand, with two units firing huge crossing plumes across the booth throughout the show.
Designed to recreate the visual impact of a traditional CO2 effect without the need for CO2 bottles, Eco2jet produces spectacular plumes reaching up to 12 metres. And with a single 5-litre bottle delivering approximately the same output as 13 large CO2 canisters, it offers some compelling long-term cost savings too.
Also making its PLASA debut was the MAGIC FX Sparxtar II, creating plenty of interest from visitors looking for spectacular spark effects for live events and productions.
If you managed to miss the Eco2jets firing, we're not entirely sure how...
Getting Hands-On with Shure SLX-D+
Another product attracting plenty of attention was Shure SLX-D+, with visitors able to get hands-on with the latest addition to Shure's digital wireless line-up.
SLX-D+ brings Shure's advanced digital wireless features from its more advanced product families to a more accessible price point, offering greater flexibility and control over the original SLX-D series. PLASA gave us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the system and talk through where it fits in with customers face-to-face. And yes... It sounds as good as it looks!
Small Microphones. Big Possibilities
We also had a selection of Point Source Audio microphone solutions on display, with Anthony from Point Source Audio showcasing just how discreet professional audio can be.
From reversible headsets and discreet over-ear microphones to dual capsule mics and in-ear intercom headsets, Point Source Audio combines incredibly compact designs with the durability and innovation required for demanding professional use in theatre, broadcast, live events and presentation applications.
PLASA gave visitors the chance to see the products up close - because with microphones this discreet, photographs don't always do them justice!
Exploring the Allen & Heath SQ5+
The Allen & Heath SQ5+ also took its place on Stand E12, giving visitors the opportunity to get behind the console and explore the latest generation of the popular SQ platform.
Building on the success of the original SQ series, SQ5+ brings expanded capabilities to an already hugely popular digital mixing platform for live sound, AV and installation applications.
There's only so much you can learn about a mixing console from a spec sheet, so it was great to have the SQ5+ powered up and ready for visitors to explore for themselves throughout the show.
But the Best Bit? Seeing You Lot.
New products are great. Huge special effects firing over the stand certainly help. But PLASA wouldn't be PLASA without the people.
Across all three days, Stand E12 was non-stop – giving our team the chance to catch up with customers we've known for years, put faces to names we've previously only spoken to over the phone and meet plenty of new ones too.
For us, that's what makes getting everyone under one roof for a few days so worthwhile.
So, whether you came for a product demo, needed some advice, wanted to talk about an upcoming project or simply popped over to say hello – thank you for visiting us.
You certainly kept us busy!
That's a Wrap!
Another PLASA done - and plenty for us to look back on.
A huge thank you to everyone who visited Stand E12, to our brand partners who supported us throughout the show, and of course, to the Leisuretec team who helped make it all happen.
