BELLEVUE, WA (08.23.24) – ESB Audio’s Novemila 9000 Speaker Series has won the coveted 2024-2025 EISA Award for in-car high-end component audio. This annual award celebrates new products that combine the most advanced technology, desirable features, and functional ergonomics, with best-in-class performance. EISA highlights products most likely to be appreciated by consumers seeking versatility, style, and performance. To win the EISA Award, ESB’s Novemila 9000 Series had to pass a comprehensive, multi-step judging process taking place over several months.

“We’re honored to have our new Novemila speaker line recognized with such a prestigious award”, said Chirs Bennett, ESB’s Director of US Sales. “There has been a lot of excitement from our retail partners and sound quality competitors about these speakers and this award.”

The Novemila 9000 Series consists of some of the most technologically advanced car speakers ever produced. Technology and design come together in a new and unusual aesthetic, thanks to elements like the iconic “flowers faceplate”, which is not only aesthetic, but also functions as an acoustic lens for the tweeter dome. Like the tweeter, the 165-millimeter woofer has also been designed to keep air flow under control. An oversized neodymium magnet helps to achieve perfect and homogeneous saturation of the magnetic gap for the benefit of the voice coil stroke. Always immersed in constant magnetic flux, this reduces distortion and increases dynamics. The carbon fiber membrane of the 9000 Series midranges and mid-woofer are made under vacuum in an autoclave, a high cost but efficient technology. These and many other features are an expression of ESB’s innovation and dedication to producing class-leading car speakers.

ESB Audio is an Italian speaker company with over a half century of electroacoustic history. Over the last 55 years, ESB navigated the winding road of high fidelity (home and automotive) through all its evolution, acquiring a wealth of experience and knowledge that is rarely encountered elsewhere. It has been an amalgamation of talented people, hard work, significant investment, and keen insights that have brought the new Novemila 9000 Series to fruition.

EISA- the European Imaging and Sound Association – is comprised of 56 technology magazines and websites from 27 countries, representing the world’s largest independent collaboration of experts in multimedia technologies. For over 40 years, EISA has been selecting the most innovative, cutting-edge products for its EISA Awards which are internationally recognized.

The complete 9000 Series 3-way component system consists of the Novemila 9.6W woofer, Novemila 9.3M midrange, and Novemila 9.1T-28 tweeter. The set carries a retail price of $3,899.99 and is available in the US through ESB authorized installers.

SEASIDE, CA (08.21.24) – Exotics on Broadway was born as a unique event to focus entirely on the super, hyper and exotic car phenomenon. The 2024 event rolled on Saturday, August 17 down the main drag in Seaside, CA. 12volt retailer KarTunes Auto Stereo and Alarm is a fixture in the community and literally had a front row seat to all the days action.

Tim and Karen Haines own the business and welcomed this great event once again. Seaside CA is a community of just over 30,000 people and the event drew an estimated crowd of 43,000 during its five hour run. KarTunes is a long time Alpine retailer and Pete Bobsin was on the site with his Tesla to showcase the latest Alpine specific Tesla products in a demo set up right behind the KarTunes store.

“We had a very huge turnout again this year for Exotics on Broadway. Tim and Karen had a space set up for us to once again provide in-vehicle experiences for attendees to check out the latest Alpine specific Tesla products. The Alpine audio upgrade system in my Tesla provided a very significant improvement in audio accuracy and overall dynamic range. People who took a seat definitely had wide eyes and smiles on their faces. In all we engaged with over 60 people, with 40 actually taking a seat for the demos” Bobsin stated.

Continuing Bobsin commented “Customer feedback was great. A number of Tesla and other vehicles owners engaged with talks with Tim and Karen to schedule an installation time”

Tim Haines related “There certainly are a significant number of people that own Teslas in the market and many of them don’t know the benefits of the Alpine audio upgrades until they actually take a seat in the vehicle. We definitely created that Alpine experience for many who took a seat during the Exotics on Broadway event. We look forward to closing a number of Tesla sales.”

The Chinook Winds Casino has teamed with IASCA for a number of years to create the largest car audio event in the Northwest and one of the largest car audio events in the country.

“This year’s event had a huge crowd on the grounds of the Chinook Winds Casino grounds. The weather did not cooperate fully as there was rain in and out the first part of the event. Afternoon Sunday clearing took place and the the lanes were full as awards were presented. The weather did not dampen any energy from enthusiasts on site” Travis Chin, IASCA Worldwide President related.

Images posted from the Chinook Winds Casino grounds showed competitors vehicles and tents across the huge venue.

Rob Sutton, Crossover Marketing Group Principal, traveled from Battle Ground WA to Lincoln Park OR to checkout the latest happening on the SoundOff circuit. “There was definitely a lot of excitement and sound in the air. I was happy to see a team from KICKER on site to get a feel for what’s happening on the SoundOff circuit. I didn’t see any other direct 12volt vendor or rep firm staffs on site. Members of the 12volt industry community are certainly connected to SoundOff enthusiasts in a major way!”

Gately Audio, based in Sacramento CA, had a major presence on site with a group of tents and demo cars. Their business is primarily consumer direct on line. Staff members were traveling the 600 miles back to HQ and not available by press time.

Through the course of the years together, the Chinook Winds Casino and IASCA Worldwide have donated to great causes. More than $30,000 has been donated to Angels Anonymous through entry fees, raffle tickets and t-shirt sales.

“I’d really like to thank all of our sponsors. Every year they step up and make the show that much better” Chin continued.“I have been involved with the Surf City Soundoff and Chinook Winds Casino for over a decade and I always look forward to being part of the show. This year was one of the biggest events yet and it has a great reputation as one of the ‘go to’ IASCA events of the year. See you in 2025.”
