“During the three-day exhibition, we communicated with customers and resellers and realized they are interested in this IP-based PA system. Buttons on the main control unit are more comfortable than traditional hard key and I also feel better to press them. If text could have electronic message function or the background was changeable while broadcasting, it would be great” said Roger Liu, Director of Sunrise. BXB introduced brand new concept for campus PA, standing out of traditional sound system and expanded system application to the video field. Thanks to user requirements from our distributor, resellers and school authorities to help us develop features that reflect the needs of campus.
