Musikmesse & Prolight + Sound to
Combine Audio, DJ & Recording
Segments
Musikmesse and Prolight + Sound organizers have announced
that for 2018, the audio, DJ, and recording segment is being
given a new and central presentation platform. Prolight +
Sound will run from April 10-13 while Musikmesse is being
staged from April 11-14, 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany.
The new central area for the audio, DJ, and recording
segment means exhibitors who used to be spread over several
halls at the two fairs will make their presentations together in
Hall 4.1. This makes for shorter walking distances for visitors and
optimum target-group reachability for exhibitors. Hall 4.1 will be a component of both Musikmesse and Prolight + Sound and integrated into the visitor
marketing and information services of both events.
The focus of the hall will be on products of interest to both professional users from the event and media technology segment and musicians, music pro-
ducers, and musical instrument retailers. The products include microphones, effects and signal processors, cables, mixing desks, control units, monitoring tools,
production tools, and recording hardware and software.
