High End Show to Move from Munich to Vienna in 2026

A step into a promising future is how the High End Society, the promoters of the High End International Audio Show, announce the decision to move the successful trade show from Munich to Vienna. Not immediately. The High End 2025 show will still take place in Munich. But it was long known that the success of the show was being strongly hindered by the lack of expansion space in the Munich MOC. After having promoted a regional show in Vienna, the High End Society found a new home.

Austrian Audio introduced two new microphones, optimized for use on instruments: the OD5, an active-dynamic microphone, and the OC7, a true condenser microphone. Both mics are handmade in Vienna and subjected to the strictest quality assurance processes. The OC7 features the OCC7 small diaphragm capsule, also handmade in Vienna. Most noticeable in the new design is the "Swivel Joint" mechanism.

The Audio Engineering Society (AES) Vienna 2020 convention was cancelled. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the 148th Audio Engineering Society International Audio Convention scheduled for May 25 – 28 at the Austria Center Vienna will not take place. The AES Virtual Vienna Convention in now set for June 2–5, 2020, with an online format. AES Virtual Vienna will offer a program of sessions that will be broadcast throughout the 4 days, after which they will be available on-demand, available to all registrants.
