Hundreds of dealers, consultants, system integrators and audio, video and lighting (AVL) professionals converged at the Sheraton Manila, Pasay City on May 23 for the “2024 Harman Connect Day Philippines” to immerse themselves in a world of AVL solutions for the hospitality, corporate, education and government verticals.
“The timing of this event synchronizes with growth trends in the hospitality and meeting, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) space in the Philippines,” said Nick Screen, Director of Channel Sales, HARMAN Professional, APAC. “It’s currently a very exciting time for Harman Professional. Our legendary brands have always been synonymous with innovation, and through the Covid pandemic Harman continued its commitment to R&D and Innovation. Customers are now seeing the benefits and results of this investment.
“In recent years we have seen a complete refresh of our JBL Portable PA Solutions, new line arrays including the hugely successful SRX900 and award winning VTX A6. JBL Venue Synthesis and the recent acquisition of FLUX:: mean that JBL Professional has a full set of design tools and solutions for immersive audio. The Martin Professional Lighting portfolio goes from strength to strength with our MAC fixtures using light engines that have been developed in house.
The new MAC Viper XIP and MAC One have really captivated the market and we are already seeing huge demand. The AMX portfolio has been through a complete refresh, including the arrival of the new MUSE controllers. These powerful and secure devices not only support multiple scripting languages (Python, JavaScript, and Groovy) but also support flow-based development using the Node-RED development tool.”
“The arrival of BSS Omni marks the launch of the next generation DSP platform and the arrival of the AVX Suite of Software; ushering in a new era of installed AV software at HARMAN. While the iconic brands remain, our AV technology platforms are fully integrated, so much so that BSS OMNI will include onboard AMX MUSE Technology and AVX Control will fully support AMX Varia touch panels,” said Screen.
