Daytona Beach, FL - April 20, 2017 – IASCA Worldwide is conducting a Judge’s Training course in Plano, Texas, the weekend of April 22nd. More than 20 people will be attending the course, focused around Sound and Installation Quality.

The two day course will be headed by IASCA Worldwide Director of Operations, Moe Sabourin.  Special Guest Speakers include long time IASCA Judge James Feltenberger and Nick Wingate; Feltenberger and Wingate will focus on Tonality, Staging and Imaging judging sections. Chris Pate , owner of Mobile Toys in College Station, TX, and long time IASCA Champion competitor  will discuss installation techniques during the Installation Judging portion of the training.

“The State of Texas is a hub of sound quality car audio activity” said Sabourin “There has been more and more interest in IASCA’s presence in the State over the last few years, and this is a big step forward for us. As technology in car audio changes, there’s a greater focus on sound quality again, as well as the proper installation of these technologies; this training will not only breed new IASCA Judges for the State but raise awareness in Sound Quality. We’re very excited to have James, Nick and Chris participate as well; long standing IASCA traditions along with new technologies will be brought together for what we believe will be one of the best training sessions to date. I look forward to traveling to Texas and working with some great people to make it a reality.”

April 26, 2017 – Daytona Beach FL. – In the Port City of Surabaya, IASCA Worldwide, along with IASCA Indonesia, held a Judge’s and Competitor training last weekend at the Novotel hotel.

Twenty-four auto sound enthusiasts, six of whom are staff members, took the two day IASCA Judge’s training and test. IASCA Judge and Trainer Fred Lynch conducted the session which was sponsored by auto sound manufacturer SB Acoustics and Arc Audio.

“It’s refreshing to see the passion for car audio in this country” said IASCA President Paul Papadeas, “the interest and passion for car audio all across Asia is astounding. After a period of dormancy, the resurgence of IASCA in Indonesia by its new directors promises escalation in car audio awareness and ultimately sales”. The IASCA Indonesia helm was taken by Mediaaudio.id Director Erik Lim and Managing Director Jaka Sendrawan. Mediaaudio.id is a National Auto Sound Publication.

The day after training, Lynch judged an Invitation Only IASCA SQ Competition of Pro and Ultimate Class vehicles; for some, this was a first time experience. “It is the job of all IASCA judges” cites Papadeas, “to not only judge vehicles fairly but to make the process an educational experience, stimulating the competitor’s motivation to embrace auto sound”.

“Every car was nothing short of a pure pleasure to listen to while experiencing the emotion, energy and passion of music in every one. The top 5 cars were all less than 2 points apart in total score with ties in tonality on most of them.” said Arc Audio’s Fred Lynch, “From the first show I ever judged in Indonesia it has been extremely gratifying to hear the difference and growth in experience in the way they tune, present their audio systems and most importantly continue to develop their love for music.”

Daytona Beach, Florida – IASCA Worldwide’s Director of Operations Moe Sabourin recently visited its Affiliate in Indonesia for a week’s worth of training and competition judging in the country’s capital city of Jakarta.

In a city of 10 million people, IASCA Indonesia affiliate Mediaaudio.id hosted a four-day training seminar including two days of IASCA Judge’s and Competitor Training for Sound Quality at the Hotel Santika in the heart of the city.

More than 50 attendees were present for the training, with 30 attendees participating in becoming certified as IASCA Indonesia Judges.

Along with the training was the introduction of the all new IASCA Sound Quality Reference CD set; attendees followed the training with each section highlighting the evaluation tracks on the disc. As the final production run of the CDs was not yet complete, the production company produced CD-Rs specifically for the training so that Indonesian Judges and competitors could experience the new CD set.

Over 35 competitors participated in the Sound Quality competition on the Friday following the training seminars. The competitors’ systems were evaluated using the new IASCA Sound Quality Reference CD and it was an instant success.

"Although the main purpose of the trip was for the training, the buzz was all about the new CD" said IASCA Director of Operations, Moe Sabourin "After the IASCA Judges/Competitors training and the Arc Audio training, attendees were outside in their vehicles tuning with the new CD preparing for Friday’s competition.”. Sabourin continued to say “Everyone we spoke with had high praise for the quality of the CD’s engineering and tracks used. Orders for the new CD in the region have already topped 400 and growing daily! This is definitely a turning point for IASCA Sound Quality competition and a huge movement forward for awareness of aftermarket car audio.”

Plans are already under way for an IASCA car audio system tuning CD set to compliment the new reference CD.

Day 1 focused on two main subjects; “What it means to be an IASCA Judge” and Sound Quality. Attendees were treated to special guest speakers James Feltenberger, long time IASCA Judge and Trainer, and Nick Wingate of Orca; Feltenberger’s and Wingate’s wealth of knowledge in IASCA dates back to IASCA’s inception in the late 1980s and the information provided gave attendees a are insight into what made IASCA the prominent soundoff organization in the world.

 “This training seminar was one of the best yet” said Moe Sabourin, Director of Operations for IASCA Worldwide “We not only discussed what’s involved in being an IASCA Certified  Judge, but we also had in-depth conversations about IASCA’s role with and for retailers as well. I have a strong suspicion that IASCA’s presence in the area is going to grow over the next few years and I’m personally looking forward to doing all I can to help in that growth.”

“Special thanks go to Dan Ungaro, owner of Soundscape, for opening up his shop to the attendees for the training seminar and to Howard Cantor for coordinating this training effort” Sabourin continued to say “Without their commitment to making car audio better in Texas and the surrounding region, this training would not have been a reality.”
