Taking advantage of the large, modern venue at the Gran Via, ISE’s new home provides ample space for a new approach to the show floor. Six Technology Zones, set out over five spacious halls, group together exhibitors in the major technology areas, making it simpler for delegates to plan their visit and find and compare the wide variety of solutions they need for their integration projects.
Technology Zones
Multi-Technology Zone (Halls 3 & 5): A must for any visitor to ISE, this Zone features the major brands in the AV industry offering solutions that deliver benefits for many vertical markets. From Barco, Biamp and Crestron to LG, Samsung, Sennheiser, Shure, and Televic Conference, this area offers a wealth of interesting booths to explore.
“ISE 2022 is a key exhibition in the global calendar for Shure," said Chris Merrick, Shure global marketing. "We are really looking forward to ISE in Barcelona this coming February as a platform to showcase our latest innovations. It is an essential event to meet up with our customers, channel and industry partners, and of course to make new connections.”
Hall 5 will once again play host to the eye-catching VIOSO Projection Dome—an installation showcasing VIOSO’s fascinating software solutions for multi projector / multi display setups.
Audio Zone (Hall 7): ISE’s Audio Zone is firmly established as the key destination to hear about the latest audio innovations for both permanent installation and live events. Solutions on display will include signal processing and transport, immersive spatial audio, and the cutting edge of loudspeaker design. More than 140 exhibitors are booked into this zone and include Adam Hall, Audac, Bose Professional, d&b audiotechnik, Equipson, L-Acoustics, Martin Audio, Meyer Sound, Renkus Heinz, and more.
Tom Van de Sande, CEO of AUDAC, said the company is looking forward to the return of in-person events at ISE in Barcelona: “As a family business, that personal touch is one of our greatest strengths, and nothing beats catching up with each other over a cup of coffee or even a Belgian beer," he noted. "In addition, the first full-scale edition of ISE is in Barcelona, so it is extra exciting to see the effect of the move to FIRA. ISE has helped us grow from a small start-up manufacturer into a leading player in the AV industry. It gave us access to clients and users that otherwise may have never heard from us. And by impressing the attendees, we were able to further establish our brand while expanding our distributor network.”
In addition to the Audio Zone, ISE 2022 will feature the ISE Sound Xperience in partnership with the Eventos Filmax Cinema Gran Vía complex. The location is a dedicated cinema complex of 12 uniquely configured listening rooms to showcase audio with depth, accuracy, and pinpoint clarity.
