“We want to preserve the heritage, the culture and the knowledge of the analogue concert audio technology and concert audio industry and pass it on to interested people” says Wolfgang “Schabbach” Neumann (VCA president).
The Vintage Concert Audio idea was born at Pro Light + Sound fair in Frankfurt 2018 by Wolfgang “SCHABBACH” Neumann . The basic idea was to show vintage concert audio equipment to younger generations and give them a chance to experience how it sounds and how to operate it.
The FOH magazine said about us: „The organizers have collected the exhibits in the deepest cellars and from the farthest warehouse corners in Europe to bring them together in Frankfurt. Everything, from the first WEM, Vox and Marshall PA-systems to Martin Modular, Meyer MSL3, Clairbrothers S4 to the first L’Acoustics line array, will be represented. And in many parts even audible: every day a decade-bound audio panel will be taking place. Sound engineers of the respective time will tell their story, will philosophize about the technology and, of course, answer the questions of the booth visitors.“
