The challenges ahead for audio companies in this time of fast technology changes and fast-moving trends involves finding the best human resources, getting the skills set right for your structure, and be able to move quickly when ideas need to become working concepts, prototypes and enter production.
Being connected means leveraging all opportunities in a timely manner, and for that your network of suppliers and strategic partners is more important than ever.
That is why the Loudspeaker Industry Sourcebook continues to be an essential resource, getting better and stronger every year. Since we completely updated the annual Loudspeaker Industry Sourcebook (LIS) two years ago, and added a dedicated online directory (www.loudspeakerindustrysourcebook.com), this annual publication continues to grow with more categories and more complete listings.
Working together with the Association of Loudspeaker Manufacturing and Acoustics (ALMA) International, and other partner audio industry associations such as Audio Engineering Society (AES), the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association (AVIXA), producer of InfoComm, and the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA), the Loudspeaker Industry Sourcebook will continue to serve and reflect the diversity of companies and areas of activity that the audio industry entails.
As this 2018 edition of LIS denotes, the audio industry is expanding its application scope in tandem with technology innovations, which enable completely new product categories and much more sophisticated systems to meet the demand for better, more convenient, higher quality and available everywhere experiences.
Inside this LIS 2018 and the online directory, you will find the latest updated information with all the contacts that make it an invaluable resource for the industry, reflecting the current market expansion. As always, we have enriched LIS with high-quality Industry Features and Reports, reflecting our industry’s trends and evolution in new applications such as voice recognition, smart home integration, room correction, acoustic compensation, new materials, new test and measurement and QC solutions, and new standards, among the many topics addressed.
As we do monthly in the pages of our leading publications audioXpress (Audio Engineering & Development Magazine), and Voice Coil (Loudspeaker Industry Periodical), we are certain LIS 2018 will be another valuable resource to help you grasp the opportunities ahead.
We hope you enjoy the annual edition of the Loudspeaker Industry Sourcebook!
