...exhibitors often do not have the time to spare to try a new device that may or may not improve their performance. In fact their systems rarely perform well even up to their lax standards, on the first day.
That said, I well recall the years when Barry Kohan brought a selection of isolation devices (Brightstar Audio) around on a Radio Flyer and offered them to exhibitors. He must have gotten into four dozen rooms as they seemed to be everywhere. And his business grew into a powerhouse after two or three years of that merchandising.
As to the "their baby" argument, too many exhibitors are indeed like that, but an at least equal number are open (anyway in theory) to such things. Heck, there was a time when people didn't even care about cables, and now...
For years and years I've told the guys to do whatever's needed to sound good, and if they have to hide some sort of isolation or power scrubber or what have you, do it! And if you're discovered, no one will blame you because those hotels have so many problems!
Romy: "Open to the public" or not, the public and the reviewers are there every day of the show.
