July 2010 Meeting

Time: 6:00 PM

Line 3-inch Single Driver Loudspeaker

43-1/4"
HIGH CHERRY
CABINET SHOWN |

Acoustic Technologies (Chicago,
IL) will generate a discussion and demonstrate their Classic Line
of 3" Single Driver Loudspeakers.
Mr. Maeshiba, after years of research,
has created a floor-standing speaker that combines a single 3”
full range driver with an ingenious enclosure, which serves as an
amplifier and resonator to accurately reproduce a coherent, naturally
synthesized sound over a large range of frequencies.
The loudspeakers create a realistic
three-dimensional listening experience over a previously unattainable
range of listening positions. The loudspeakers do not have a “sweet-spot,”
thereby allowing the listener to roam around the listening room (or
even leave it) and still retain a realistically wide, deep, and tall
soundstage image in which all performers remain in their (virtual)
location.
The design pays particular attention
to Time Domain considerations (an almost totally neglected aspect
of reproduced sound) and takes its inspiration from acoustic instruments.
Guests are encouraged to bring
their own Compact Discs for playback on our Classic Line loudspeaker
and to check out: www.singledriver.net

WEBMASTER'S
NOTE: The FCC has mandated
that OPERATION OF WIRELESS MICROPHONES IN THE 700 MHZ
BAND IS PROHIBITED AFTER JUNE 12, 2010. Inasmuch as
there is a LOT of misinformation about this, the ONLY correct
and relevant page is here:
www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones
There is also a page with full lists of products affected
and a comprehensive list of manufacturers. |

The
BAS Message
July 2010
|
|
0. BASS V32-2 has been published. It features
2 meeting summaries: Our meetng at WFCR in Amherst MA on HD Radio with Chuck
Dube (at last!), by David Hadaway and our meeting at Bob Ludwig's Gateway
Mastering in Maine by David Hadaway. Also a report by Peter V.K. Brown on
the Audition 3 Phase Alignment, an amazing process. He says the improvement
on old recordings is amazing. 24pp
1. Regular use of pain relief medicine
appears to increase men's risk of hearing loss, expecially among middle-aged
men, according to an American Journal of Medicine study. Researchers surveyed
nearly 27,000 men evey two years from 1986 to 2004. Men who used pain relievers
a least twice a week were more likely than no-users to be diagnosed with
hearing loss. Aspirin users were 12% more likely, those on ibuprufen-like
drugs were 21% more likely and users of acetaminophen, 22% more likely.
