Throughout the year, Criterion Audio organise a series of events usually located at our showroom in Cambridge. These include manufacturer events for launching new products and discussions of their range, where trained staff come along to perform a series of demonstration along with questions and answers. We also organise our own events here, showcasing our portfolio of equipment along with demonstrations.
