Dear members and friends of Sydney Audio Club Inc.
The next club meeting for 2025 will be held on Sunday 10th August with the presentation of another pair of Australian designed and produced active speaker systems. Oren Adani from Pantheone Audio will demonstrate the award winning Pantheone 1 Sculptural High-Fidelity Wireless Speakers and the Obsidian Compact Portable Wireless Speakers. Oren will also present a TechTalk on ‘Future Hi-Fi’ starting at 1.00 pm.
Pantheone Audio was born in Australia and designed by a global team of creators, designers, and engineers, and was founded on the belief that art and sound can harmoniously coexist. Their high-performance active speakers are not just audio devices, they are works of art, designed to enhance your space with both exceptional sound and sculptural beauty.
The doors will be open from around 12:30 pm to meet and chat with members before the TechTalk starts at 1:00 pm. As our club is based on mutual respect, especially in these open presentations, let us remain respectful towards one another’s views and opinions.
There will be one short break after the TechTalk before the meeting starts around 2:15 pm. There will be an afternoon tea break mid-afternoon before the meeting finishes at 5:00 pm. Guests are welcome – we are a very friendly club so you don’t need to know anyone to join us for an afternoon of fine music and sound. If you happen to be late just quietly slide into a seat and join the meeting. To our guests, we respect the music being played so we request that you refrain from talking while music is being presented. There will plenty of time for friendly banter between tracks and during the breaks.
