Vertere Acoustics and Friends at the Audio Show Deluxe 2023
We have just returned from a fantastic weekend at the Audio Show Deluxe at Whittlebury Park.
The audio show was a first of its kind, dedicated to the high-end audio market. The show didn’t disappoint! Whittlebury Park is a beautiful hotel that offers excellent facilities and boasts luxury. The organisers put a lot of effort into creating a wonderful experience for their guests - from reasonably priced tickets to complimentary drinks, available parking, a VIP room and dedicated spaces to showcase our products and music, producing an intimate experience for everyone.
We were joined by Vertere Records artists Caezar, Elles Springs and Will McNicol who all played very special acoustic sets to visitors throughout the show. Mastering expert, Miles Showell, was also in attendance to talk to guests about his background in mastering and his “holy grail of cutting” approach.
A special thanks to the event organisers and Whittlebury Park staff for their hospitality and for organising such a great show, the team who helped us unload and
set up/pack up, our special guests, visitors and fellow exhibitors who made it so enjoyable for everyone.
