The National Audio Show (NAS) returns to the beautiful Whittlebury Hall Hotel & Spa from Saturday 19th to Sunday 20th September 2015. Now in its seventh year at its Northamptonshire setting, NAS 15 enables the audio industry to come together, under one thoroughly impressive roof, and proudly display its latest and greatest wares to enthusiastic crowds. And it’s gearing up to be another record-breaking event. Exhibitor bookings at the UK’s only independently organised audio show are already up on 2014’s numbers, and illustrious marques guaranteed to be on display include the likes of Astell & Kern, Audio Note, Chord Electronics, Pioneer, Harman Kardon and Vivid Audio.

Factor in the innovative HeadZone™ section – the dedicated headphones attraction first rolled out four years ago by show organiser Chester Group – and it adds up to a weekend not to be missed. That is certainly the view of the visiting public and sales of weekend tickets – Which are proving hugely popular.

Hats Off To HeadZone™

Headphone sales continue to thrive and HeadZone™ – the ‘show within a show’ sponsored by Bedford-based dealer Highend Headphones – looks set to be the single largest display of headphone brands anywhere in Europe. From Abyss to Ultrasone, this year’s headphone roster is near an A-Z clean sweep, with a headphone model for everyone and every budget. From £20 buds to £6000 reference models, the entire family – even ‘too cool for school’ teenagers – can experience and enjoy the latest gear from one of the hottest sectors in today’s consumer electronics industry.

We Are Family

And talking of family, NAS 15 again delivers attractions for not just the most committed audiophiles, but also for those just getting into the subject and, critically, for those who just happen to be related to a committed audiophile! The Northamptonshire venue, set in lush gardens complete with its free and easy parking, is the perfect environment for family and friends. And here, the ‘things to do list’ involves more than just listening to a perfect stereo rendition of Hotel California. (As undeniably enjoyable as that is, of course.)

More Than Just A Hi-Fi Show

Innovative additions to the traditional show environment include a spacious outdoor seating area, complete with delicious offerings from the BBQ. Whittlebury Hall itself also brings its renowned attractions, such as the award-winning spa and access to a selection of superb championship golf course, plus a terrific little nine-hole tester adjacent to the hotel building.

Listen Up

One of the key reasons – in addition to the enthusiasm and professionalism of its exhibitors – for this show managing to tick all the boxes, is the unrivalled experience of its organiser. Chester Group brings many years of experience to its events and the company makes a firm point of listening to, and acting on, feedback from both exhibitors and visitors. It also works closely with respected industry bodies, including Clarity Alliance, to further ensure that this terrific industry gets the premium show that it so badly needs and thoroughly deserves. This considered approach has helped solidly grow NAS as well as its organiser on to the global stage with the Group now running audio shows as far afield as Australia, Canada, and the United States.

Business and Pleasure

As well as creating the perfect show for the visiting public, Chester Group also ensures that hard working exhibitors also get a chance to relax and enjoy the stunning venue. Exclusive offers to exhibitors include discounts on accommodation, as well as special rates at the spa and golf courses. Play your cards right and a member of the organising team may well even stand you a ‘cold one’ from the bar. (So long as the favour is returned!)

Set Sale For Whittlebury

The final box to be ticked is marked ‘sales’. NAS 15 is a powerful brand-building tool, and it’s also, importantly, a selling show. Organiser research shows that visitors to NAS include a large proportion of people ‘ready to buy’ and Chester Group offers exhibitors the requisite infrastructure to enable on-the-spot sales.
