KARAN ACOUSTICS AT THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW 2010


For the first time ever, Karan Acoustics was present as an exhibiting manufacturer at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (7-10 January 2010). In a luxury suite of The Venetian hotel Karan Acoustics had a shared exhibit with Cardas Audio Ltd and the show system included the KA L REF Mk2 line preamplifier as well as the flagship KA M 1200 mono power amplifiers. We were privileged to have the Zanden Model 2500S CD player as the source of all the music played, finite elemente pagode Master Reference equipment supports and Cardas Clear and Clear Beyond interconnect and loudspeaker cables respectively. A special "thank you" goes to Avalon Acoustics Inc. for letting us to be the only other exhibitor (among many using their loudspeakers for their respective show systems) with their latest and brilliant creation – the TIME loudspeaker.

According to numerous trade and industry visitors, as well as show reports that have so far appeared in print and on various web magazine sites, we have managed to present the true quality and potential of Karan Acoustics electronics in a manner which should not be forgotten too soon. And, we hope to return in 2011 with some completely new and very exciting products once again!

Our deepest gratitude goes to our dear colleagues and friends Gary Gelfland and Stephen Dull from our North American Karan Acoustics distribution outlet Westside Music and Cinema (www.westsidemusic.ca) , the invaluable and absolutely crucial Audiofreaks associate Jonathan (Jon) Davis, all members of the Cardas Audio team, Neil Patel and Lucien Pichette of Avalon Acoustics Inc., Kazutoshi Yamada and Eric Pheils of Zanden Audio Systems Ltd and Luis Fernandes (finite elemente) + Allan Perkins of Immedia (US distributor of finite elemente). Without their unreserved support and help, Karan Acoustics would simply not have been at the CES 2010.
