Engineers and Studio Owners:

Although this is NOT an AES event, this is an opportunity for you to hear a demonstration of a new product/technology that may be of interest to you. We are fortunate to have the President of the company pay us a visit after the AES Convention in San Francisco. Their new product is an active bass trap. They will demo it at Opus 4 Studios October 8, 7:30 p.m.

As many of you know, Bag End makes impressive professional sub-woofers.

Now, they have the E-trap, a tunable electronic bass trap. It offers a new way to think about low frequency room acoustics and provides, according to Bag End, a precise tool for acoustical design.

What is does: the E-trap allows us to tune our tracking room, mixing room and/or listening room to significantly attenuate low frequency variances. It absorbs low frequency sound. Bag End claims "The electronic bass trap [E-trap] offers a precise tool to attack the very worst problems with a high degree of effectiveness in a fraction of the space. It also offers a practical low cost solution to existing rooms where problems are present and room re-design or large passive absorbers are not an option.

Did I mention: FREE Bag End T-shirts, FREE Opus 4 coffee mugs, FREE wine, cheese, crackers and other food.

Our October meeting delves into the innards of a bit of personal electronics that has become completely ubiquitous in an extremely short period of time: the personal music player. JJ will take us on a tour of the insides, and in the process we'll explore just how good (or not good) these units really are.
