While the coverage for the big High End 2022 show in Munich is still rolling out this week, Marc was able to join the podcast to give a more intimate look into the event that takes place (under normal circumstances) every year in Germany.
Things were still adapting for Covid. But even so, the high fidelity show was in full swing this May. The impact of 19 was still felt however, with protocols and adjustments causing some ripple effects for attendees and exhibitors alike. Even with this new reality, the sounds were good, great even for many rooms. You can check out more of Marc’s written, room-by-room coverage here.
