Nation’s First Audio Con Presented by AXPONA to Provide Immersive Experience for Lovers of Music and Sound Audio Expo North America (AXPONA) Returns to Chicagoland April 24-26 for Third Straight Year
The event offers over 125 high fidelity listening rooms, providing music fanatics the enviable opportunity to experience the newest technology in high-end listening products. Notable exhibitors will include YG Acoustics, Audio Research, Pass Labs, Kef, Clearaudio, Focal, MBL, Legacy, Audeze, Sennheiser, Koss, Mobile Fidelity, Music Direct, Elusive Disc, Acoustic Sounds, Nordost and more.
The Audiophile Marketplace and Ear Gear Expo also have hundreds of products and accessories from cables and headphones to original and remastered recordings in multiple genres and formats. Beyond the live music and exhibitors, Audio Con also includes seminars that tackle the “must know” topics and issues relevant to the most discerning audiophiles, as well as give demonstrations and introductions to music lovers who are just entering the world of high-end audio. Topics include streaming, personal audio, turntable set up, hi-res audio, loud speaker/room measurement and beyond. Some featured panelists include Michael Fremer, Analog Planet; Matt Earley, Gotta Groove Records; Jeff Merkel, University of Colorado, Denver/Merkel Acoustics; and Jim Smith, author of “Get Better Sound Through the Sound Barrier.”
Along with Audio Con comes the addition of musical performances from highly-regarded Chicago musicians. On Friday night, American jazz star and Chicago local, Patricia Barber, will take the stage to share her witty, smooth and soulful sound with the crowd. From her ingenious writing to her unmatched vocals, Barber’s talent is well known throughout Chicago’s jazz scene. On Saturday evening, the audience will be graced with the musical presence of Grammy Award and Blues Music Award Nominee, John Primer. Known for his gig as the house band at the world famous Theresa’s Lounge in Chicago, Primer is, as his album title suggests, “The Real Deal.”
The event takes place on Friday, April 24, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., Saturday, April 25, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Sunday, April 26, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. To purchase tickets or for more information about the event, please visit www.axpona.com.
