Kaohsiung Grand Formosa HI-END Audio Exhibition Opens, 97 Rooms Create Audiovisual Experience

The annual 'Kaohsiung Grand Formosa HI-END Audio Exhibition,' the largest audio exhibition in southern Taiwan, opened today at the Grand Formosa Resort, Kaohsiung. The organizers have booked the entire Grand Formosa Hotel, setting up 97 guest rooms as independent exhibition rooms to create a top-tier, spacious audiovisual experience, with 233 international brands participating. The audio exhibition will run for four consecutive days at the Kaohsiung Grand Formosa. The Kaohsiung City Electrical Appliances Commercial Association, the organizer, stated that to ensure the best visitor experience, all exhibition rooms are designed by professional audio manufacturers, showcasing imported audio brands from Europe, America, and Japan. This includes streaming music, two-channel systems, home theaters, cables, audio peripherals, headphones, vinyl records, and projectors. Notably, Taiwanese brands have also attracted significant attention. The Kaohsiung Audio Exhibition consistently attracts a large crowd. On the opening day, local leaders such as Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai and Pingtung County Magistrate Chou Chun-mi attended. Chou Chun-mi mentioned that audio equipment is now a must-have audiovisual device for many households, and her husband is an 'audiophile,' so she came to experience the high-end audio equipment today. Chen Chi-mai also made a low-key appearance in the afternoon. Kaohsiung Tourism Bureau Director Kao Min-lin stated in her speech that she has participated in the Kaohsiung Audio Exhibition for many consecutive years, and now people are paying more attention to home leisure and home theaters. The overall coordination of audio-visual displays and the artistic aesthetics of the equipment itself have been elevated to an artistic level that perfectly integrates with luxury home design and interior style. The audio industry is not only an extension of the music industry but also an important manifestation of citizens pursuing life aesthetics. Kaohsiung City Electrical Appliances Commercial Association Chairman Lin Chin-yuan stated that during the exhibition, six music and audio-themed lectures are planned, inviting guests such as jazz radio host Su Chung, Gold Leaf Records Music Director Lin Po-chieh, Chimei Museum Violin Advisor Chung Tai-ting, radio host Lai Wei-feng, Audio magazine Editor-in-Chief Liu Han-sheng, and audio magazine Editor-in-Chief Kuo Han-cheng as speakers. The organizers announced that ticket purchasers will receive a 'Commemorative CD,' with a diverse range of genres produced by 38°C Records. Additionally, the event has partnered with KKBOX to provide limited-edition KKBOX lossless music free trial codes for 30 days, allowing the public to experience the charm of high-quality streaming music.
