PICS Is Not About Compromise…
PICS- The Best Sound, The Best Looking, The Best Solution, The Perfect Install…
Partnering with our exclusive UK PICS distributor InVision UK, VIBE Audio took over the Panasonic Experience Centre at Pinewood Studios on January 24th & 25th, to showcase the exceptional audio performance of the PICS range to some of the country’s best Custom Installers.
With the help of two enormous 103″ and 152″ Panasonic screens we were able to demonstrate the entire PICS system, mounted in-wall and hidden behind acoustically transparent canvas for a completely stealth surround sound system.
VIBE Audio would like to thank the Panasonic Experience Centre for their hospitality at Pinewood Studios, and our exclusive UK distribution partner InVision UK for creating an excellent showcase.
