Guitar Center Professional Teams with Audio Alchemist for Upcoming Events

— Free first event to be held April 2, 2015, in Miami at Circle House Studios —

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, March 23, 2015 — Guitar Center Professional (GC Pro), the outside sales division of Guitar Center that focuses on the needs of professional users, has teamed with New City, NY-based firm Audio Alchemist – a leading professional audio consultancy specializing in product development, training and manufacturer support – to offer a series of events for audio professionals. Scheduled for Thursday, April 2, 2015, at Circle House Studios in Miami, Florida, the free first event is titled “Food / Drink / Audiospeak.” Attendees will have the chance to demo top audio gear chosen by the world’s great recording facilities. Craft beer and Thai food will be offered to all participants. To reserve your spot at this special Audio Alchemist event, call GC Pro at 877-687-5404.

GC Pro/Audio Alchemist Miami event:

·  THURSDAY APRIL 2, 7-10PM

·  Circle House Studios

·  13700 NW 1st Ave.

·  Miami, FL 33168

Attendees will have special access to the following opportunities:

·  Experience how Manley’s investment-grade audio jewelry has been leveraged on the majority of the Billboard chartbusters. Manley Variable Mu, ELOP, Massive Passive, Voxbox, TNT and more will all be in the house.

·  Discover why a hard drive is the inviolate caretaker of your personal creative real estate and that all hard drives are not created equally; nor are they insured against cataclysm by warranty and data recovery coverage like Glyph Technologies.

·  Learn why Dangerous Music’s monitoring management can be a critical component of your system: “Because you can’t mix what you can’t hear." Discover how analog summing with a 2-Bus, 2-Bus LT or D-box will breathe your mix to life.

·  Climb inside classic tracks like “Hotel California,” that you’ve auditioned in the studio, elevator and dentist’s chair, but will feel for the first time on the Guzauski-Swist GS-3A reference monitors.

·  Audition Retro Instruments to explore the true legacy of vintage audio fused with just enough modernity to push past typical creative confines and uncover unique solutions that effortlessly track/mix your vocal, instrument, soundscape and song every time.

·  Improve any speaker system by nailing the three principles of monitoring: Placement, Isolation & Focus. Instantly benefit from IsoAcoustics’ simple yet elegant solutions to maximize your current equipment arsenal.
