Abstract:
Analog Design Secrets Your Mother Never Told You
As the performance of modern digital audio technology surpasses the range of human hearing, the weak links in the signal chain are often found in the analog domain. For example, the 120-dB dynamic range achievable by a modern A/D converter is sacrificed when it is fed a noisy signal from a poorly balanced input with insufficient common mode rejection. Thus, in order to achieve the best possible performance at the lowest possible cost, it is important that designers employ good analog engineering practices. This seminar will provide tips and techniques to achieve optimal performance in the analog signal path. Topics to be covered will range from inputs (balanced line and mic level) to outputs (balanced to single-ended), and will include analog signal processing (VCAs, RMS detection, and Analog Engines). The presenters are analog IC design experts from THAT Corporation, the world’s only semiconductor foundry specializing exclusively in pro audio ICs.

Abstract:
CLIO 8 System Overview and Applications
Audiomatica presents the new CLIO 8 System and demonstrates its new applications. Of great interest: The firewire hardware interface; the security features of CLIO 8 software; the new Quality Control functionalities; the new software analysis tools.
Saturday, October 6, 4:00 pm — 5:00 pm
KLIPPEL
Presenter:
Wolfgang Klippel
Abstract:
Vibration and Radiation Analysis of Loudspeaker Cones
A new scanning technique for measuring the vibration and geometry of loudspeaker parts is presented. This data is the basis for numerical simulations using BEM and and FEA. A decomposition technique reveals radial and circular modes and the vibration component generating the acoustical output. New ways for loudspeaker diagnostics and cone optimization are illustrated on woofers, tweeters, headphones, and micro-speakers.
Saturday, October 6, 5:00 pm — 6:00 pm
FLEX ACOUSTICS
Presenter:
Niels Werner Adelman-Larsen
Abstract:
Rock Acoustics - The Flexible Bass Absorber
Flex Acoustics made what seems to be the first ever scientific investigaion into the recommended room acoustics for rock and pop concerts. The results showed the necessity of additional bass absorbtion and led to the invention of a flexible bass absorber. The investigation and the AqFlex absorber will be presented.
Sunday, October 7, 10:30 am — 12:30 pm

Abstract:
AudioTools WorkFlow Architecture
Managing content efficiently and effectively is difficult but essential in every media organization. The challenge centers on managing digital audio assets through an increasingly complex pipeline of editing, processing, versioning, collaboration, distribution, and archiving. The AudioTools workflow architecture addresses this complex set of problems to create greater efficiencies and productivity.

CAKEWALK
Presenter:
Allen Sides
Abstract:
Recording Mary J. Blige - High-Bandwidth Tracking Powered Through Multi-Core Computing
Two-time Grammy-winning engineer/producer Allen Sides recently had a history-making recording date with Mary J. Blige performing with a full orchestra. In this groundbreaking session he recorded 48 tracks simultaneously at 24-bit/192 kHz using one Intel-based PC running SONAR. Allen will be interviewed about the session, followed by brief Q&A.
