The Loudspeaker Sourcing Show — an annual expo for loudspeaker brand buyers, engineers, and their decision-makers to meet directly with qualified loudspeaker factories will return to the Nansha Grand Hotel Guangzhou in China from 16th-18th October.
The show was conceived and created by husband and wife team Philip Richardson — owner of the Trueanalog Strictly OEM factory in Guangzhou, China (established to serve the international high-end and mid-fi driver and system industries) — and Mandy Tseng — daughter of the founder of Guangzhou, China-based T-yokes, top plates, and U-yokes specialist manufacturer Zeng Ben Industrial — to connect qualified speaker component manufacturers directly with businesses that need their services.
Manufacturers are already vetted based on their history of providing quality loudspeaker product solutions or related services, so only actual manufacturers are allowed to exhibit at the show — not third-party brokers.
“Our goal is to greatly improve the communication and relationships between brands and suppliers,” said organiser Philip Richardson. 
“This year will be the fourth annual show, and each year the shows keep getting bigger and better with larger attendance and more of the world’s speaker brands realising its potential. Imagine sitting down for a quiet moment with the best suppliers of speaker components and systems across all of Asia.”
Companies in attendance this year include Southern California’s Sonance, inventors of the world’s first architectural speaker some 30 years ago; German manufacturer Intertechnik and Dr. Kurt Müller GmbH & Co. KG (DKM), a leading international supplier for acoustic parts — including some of the best paper cones in the world — to major loudspeaker companies with over 70 years experience, to name but a notable few.E
Exhibitors include Vistron, Southern China’s premier choice for high performance, high-value subwoofer and bookshelf plate amplifiers — are there to provide OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing)/ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) services for loudspeakers and related products and components. Moreover, manufacturers of every component utilised in the assembly of driver units, woofers, and tweeters will be exhibiting there, as will driver assembly houses and turnkey system factories. Furthermore, this year’s show will also be playing host to cabinet factories, amplifier factories, and test equipment manufacturers.
