Getting the right sound equipment
Buying the right sound/studio equipment is often difficult owing to the fact that the sound and musical instrument market in Nigeria have been marred by so many fakes that it is almost impossible to differentiate which is which, this causes most consumers who barely have basic knowledge of what audio equipment they intend to buy (Even those who know) easily become prey to fake dealers who rip them off their money.
The audio market in the country is a very dynamic one and has over the years grown into full demand and supply, giving room for new manufacturers to consider Nigeria as a market choice while the old ones continue to expand their reach as they compete for dominance in certain professional sound equipment.

Most of these consumers often time plunge into the hand of fake dealers, and the bad experience, in the long run, leaving doubts in their minds after their trust have been marred by substandard and fake products which were gotten mostly on high price and sometimes low prices. Though, some of which are on low prices to lure consumers off their money in exchange for the fake they offer.
