Martin Audio Japan (MAJ) recently staged an outdoor showcase demonstration at the ancient ruins of the Ama Site Park in Takatsuki, Osaka.
The park was opened in 2021 on land that was previously used as a university campus. Now it is a park is that is open to everyone.
Martin Audio Japan had been unable to hold any demo showcases over the past 18 months due to Covid-19 restrictions. Once the pandemic calmed down the company restarted its activity programme – and planned something special.
‘Holding the demonstration outside ensured there would be sufficient space for the social distancing as well as fresh air,’ explains Martin Audio Japan Director, Sam Yamashita. ‘We had originally wanted to introduce WPL to customers back in 2019, but due to Covid it was postponed.’
The MAJ crew knew people were frustrated by the Covid situation and wanted to listen to the system loud. ‘Having them enjoy the music so much was a pleasure for the MAJ team as well,’ Yamashita says.
Additionally, he felt that showing the capability of WPL to its optimum potential in the previous theatre context may not have been the best solution. ‘WPL has long throw capabilities that could not be properly evaluated in a theatre. So, I had the idea that by holding the demonstration outdoors, it would solve both social distancing issues and give us the space to evaluate this powerful system to its full potential.’
The event attracted more than 50 attendees, who enjoyed auditioning both the WPS and WPL arrays.
