When encouraging dealer/integrators to purchase their first demo kit, we often get pushback on the items in the kit. Reasons vary, but often resembles something like this:
We're an integrator, we already have (mixer, cable, stands, etc - insert demo kit component here)
We get it. Cost is a factor in everything you do and you could save money by choosing only the components you need to complete the system. However in reality, those integrators who choose to purchase the full demo kit, have discovered the following benefits:
- You don't have to spend hours searching for all of the components of your demo kit each time, only to find out that 1hr before the demo, you deployed some of that gear at the last project (we can't tell you how many times we have observed this happening.)
- You are able to deliver a very consistent demo every time, while maintaining the same high standard that we have here at FlatPanel Audio, because we have curated a very effective mix of components, that work together to deliver an excellent demo.
- Using all of our components delivers an integrated demo system that is extremely easy to use. Can't make it to the demo site until right before the demo time? Send an assistant - they can set the demo kit up with ease, following the clearly labeled cables that are identified as to exactly where they go. It's so easy, even our CEO can set it up!
- The demo kit is always ready to go so there's no stress on demo day. Just load the demo system onto its included cart (the entire demo kit fits on the cart.) There's no risk that you discover you need to reconfigure the mixer, or change some settings because you used components with some other event. Instead, you set the demo kit up in 15 minutes, and the moment the first sounds that come out of the system, sound excellent without having to take one hour to tune the system to match the environment, correct changes from components used elsewhere. and more.
We also know that users will be doing more FlatPanel Audio demonstrations with their demo system than they likely have with any other loudspeaker—mostly because FlatPanel Audio demonstrations result in sales. In addition, the claims that we make with FlatPanel Audio have to be demoed to be believed, which also results in a high demo rate.
Because of this, we strongly encourage taking the whole complete demo kit, and benefit from our years of minor tweaks and modifications that will allow you to have a seamless demo from the moment you take it out of the box.
We believe so strongly in doing demos, that we have priced the FlatPanel Audio demo kit at effectively zero profit, to make it as easy as possible to get it into your hands.
