Thank you for visiting us at the UK Audio Show.
It was a great show, we got a lot of positive feedback about our products.

"This room sounded amazing - I rank it 3/4th overall.
The owner was great and let me have the volume on a remote!
There was a CD player, so we could play the Bob Marley - Stir it Up (Yes that's us) They also played this Liberty album, which sounded so cool."

"The best of the hi-fi show. Very good. Your one is the most transparent, but the trouble is a lot of people don't understand about grain free. It is very clear and good quality."

"Awesome sounding room."

"icOn produced one of the most natural-sounding rooms to my ears. Everything about it just sounded right - unforced, balanced and with realistic timbre yet communicative, engaging and dynamic.

This would be due in no small part to the icOn 4PRO multichannel passive preamplifier, which starts at £3,119 for two channels or £4,999 for the four-channel version. Furthermore, you can opt to have up to eight channels (£6,999), enabling you to drive something such as the remarkable active Linkwitz LX251 loudspeaker system and DSP crossover.

Also on show was the just-announced icOn 5 (£5,999), which offers 168 half-decibel volume steps maxing out at 83 dB and fully user-configurable ins and outs; for instance, 6 in/2 out, 5 in/3 out, 5 in/2 out+1 line out and optional AV Pass.

One of the most common questions I was asked over the weekend was, “which room should I really check out?” and icOn Audio's room remained in my top three all weekend."
