The area will showcase a diverse range of entertainment solutions with KTV kiosks, mini theatres, karaoke servers, headphones, speakers and microphones. Cutting-edge technologies in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and 4D motion seats will also be incorporated to create a cinematic experience for attendees.

Marketing Director of the company Mr Shulin Tang remarked, "As the karaoke industry is flourishing in China, we believe this is good timing for us to bring our innovative microphone technologies to the audience. We also hope to stay at the forefront of the industry by exchanging market insights with other industry peers through this platform."
Enlightening training courses and seminars keep attendees abreast of market dynamics
Preparations are well underway for an all-inclusive programme of seminars, forums and demonstration sessions to promote dialogue exchanges and inject innovative possibilities into the industry. Following a successful edition last year with attendance from reputable companies like dBTechnologies, Dolby, Genelec, Sennheiser and Shure, the "Shanghai International Film and Television Technology Forum – Sound" (IFTT) will return in 2017. Organised in collaboration with The Audio Professional Committee of the China Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (CSMPTE), the technology-oriented forum aims to promote integration and advancement in the television and broadcasting businesses.
