 AES Colorado Event Reminder!

October Event Announcement:

Hot off the tails of our successful event at Sonic Sense (click here for section report), we want to announce our "Hang" for October!

The AES Colorado section is planning an informal gathering after the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (RMAF) at 4:00 pm Sunday, October 14th, 2012.  The RMAF is an annual convention for manufacturers and enthusiasts  of high-end audio systems and related technologies.  The show is at the Marriott Denver Tech Center.  Exhibitors will have complete sound systems set-up in empty hotel rooms, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own audio sources and compare different components and systems.  The festival is organized in part by the Colorado Audio Society (not affiliated with the AES), and has a $10 entry fee per day ($5 for students).  
 
Local AES member and membership chair Jeff Merkel will be presenting a seminar on Measuring Loudspeaker and Room Performance for Everyone. Jeff's presentation is focused on measuring loudspeakers and small room acoustics, and interpreting and applying the results. Jeff's seminar runs from 2:30 - 3:30 pm on Sunday.  We'll be meeting at the hotel lounge afterwards to discuss the event and other audio-related topics.  Feel free to stop by even if you’re not attending the Fest.
