AES Munich 2009
Exhibitor Seminar Details

Friday, May 8, 11:00 — 12:00

ES1 - Optocore–A


Presenters:
Martin Barbour, Optocore Support Engineer
Andreas Kaspar, Optocore Support Engineer
Thorsten Schulze, Optocore Support and Product Manager

Abstract:
Technical introduction to OPTOCORE

The OPTOCORE Synchronous Fibre Network

Content: Introduction/Overview, design of the network, synchronicity, latency, topology, redundancy, protocol, devices.


Friday, May 8, 11:30 — 12:30

ES2 - KRK


Presenter:
Nils Karsten

Abstract:
Room Optimization with ERGO and Studio Monitor Design

Every room has his own characteristics. Especially these days it is important, to optimize the acoustics of the listening environment. An acoustically well treated environment is needed to ensure a well translating mix. ERGO makes any monitor system more accurate by reducing “bad” room sound. Besides the room acoustic also the speaker design has a fundamental impact on the radiation of the sound. The KRK design is known to built bullet-proof tools for the recording and mastering engineer to ensure to receive a well translating mix.


Friday, May 8, 12:00 — 13:00
