June 4–7, 2026,
HIGH END Vienna 2026,
the world’s premier audio exhibition,
took place at ACV International Conference Center
in Vienna, Austria.
Centered on the theme
“The Power of Music,”
the event covered 30,000 square meters,
bringing together more than 600 exhibitors
and 1,000 brands worldwide.
It drew over 20,000 professional visitors
and music lovers from
more than 40 countries.
This marked the first edition
of HIGH END in Vienna,
as well as Lingke Audio’s global debut.
Over the four days,
Lingke presented six products
from three core series:
Life Series, Listening Series
and Starry Series,
showcasing the strength
of Chinese audio craftsmanship
in the music capital.
On the opening day,
Jakob Jespersen,
Chief Strategy Officer (CSO)
of Lingke Audio,
unveiled the brand-new flagship
of the Listening Series—
Listening T8 (Wind Rising),
an active bookshelf loudspeaker.
This marked the world premiere
of the T8,
representing Lingke Audio’s answer
to the global high-end market
with its “Wireless Hi-Fi” concept.
Through multiple in-depth auditions
during the show,
T8 became the spotlight
of the Lingke booth.
Its solid soundstage
and tight, resilient bass
transported audiences
into a professional recording studio.
A German audiophile commented:
“I’m not just listening to a speaker;
I’m immersed in the energy of music.”
A European distributor noted:
“Weighing only 13 kilograms,
it delivers exceptional control performance,
which has completely changed
my impression of Chinese audio brands.”
Every product displayed
its distinctive highlights.
Listening T5 MKII
supports full remote control
for effortless operation.
Life A5 PLUS
drew crowds across Europe
with its exquisite crystal texture.
Starry M5 MKII
features minimalist interaction
for a pure outdoor audio experience,
while Starry M3
stood out among young visitors
with its vibrant colors
and portable build.
Dominique Fils-Aimé,
Canadian Juno Award winner
and HIGH END Vienna brand ambassador,
performed on the evening of June 6.
Lingke played her tracks
through the Listening T8 on site,
allowing audiophiles to fully embrace
the charm of high fidelity.
This Vienna showcase
was strongly supported by
German high-end distributor
Audio Reference GmbH.
In mid-2025,
Audio Reference became
Lingke’s exclusive distributor
for Germany.
To date,
Lingke has built partnerships
with distributors across 15 countries,
including Germany, Denmark, Sweden,
Norway, the UK and France.
From the global launch of T8
and the full product lineup,
to recognition from professional critics
and praise from music lovers,
Lingke continues to demonstrate
that when exquisite craftsmanship
meets musical emotion,
Chinese audio craftsmanship
can resonate with audiences worldwide.
