Will it fit? – 3 Roadcases in a VW golf
There is something important to point out in this picture. Note the shoes protecting the back window? I got that trick from a bass player in Saskatoon. 
Got to see a trafic control
A Charles Carvalho and David Miller Design. Just works of art inside. I can’t wait to hear it.
Vapourware…

Dolby atmos
I was lucky enough to get to visit the new Atmos mix room at Deluxe Toronto. This was the deadest big room I’ve ever been in. It was impressive to hear the system. Being a part of the AES gave me an incredible experience of A/B-ing the new IMAX mix room at Technicolor and the Atmos room at Deluxe. In my opinion the ideas of IMAX immersive technologies translate much better. The guys at IMAX got it right.
Martin Pilchner did an amazing job.
They had a guy from dolby explaining a little about how Atmos renders… very interesting how it translates from room to room.

IMAX- The Next generation of IMAX sound – 12 Channel configuration – and LASER projectors, about time
Imax – The Next generation of IMAX sound – 12 Channel configuration – and LASER projectors, about time!!
Had a fantastic experience with the new IMAX sound system at the AES meeting held at Technicolor.
The “Upper Quad” ceiling speakers really bring it together.
VBAP is going to need some work… and a HUI
I walked away asking: “If it were truly immersive, there would never be idle speakers” Cory said: “Backgrounds are the first thing to go…” I think those will become crucial.
I also walked away wanting a dozen U87s…
Of course you could hear the birds chirping and running away WHILE the rocket was launching…
sound guy Xmas idea: APx515 2-Channel Audio Analyzer
This would be a dream for the test bench. Simple, robust effective analysis tools! I would be happy with an old system one… but this would be on the shelf in a heartbeat.
The APx515 is a high performance audio analyzer optimized for production test. APx515 has a typical THD+N of –106 dB, a one million point FFT with 24-bit resolution, and 192K digital I/O. It is a best-in-class instrument for its combination of speed, performance, automation, and ease-of-use.
APx515 is a significant product because it delivers the performance and reliability of Audio Precision at a production-level price.
APx is the fastest audio analyzer in the world, returning 21 audio measurements in as fast as 1.2 seconds. It is also the easiest to use, with one-click measurements, custom reporting and sophisticated automation without any programming. A full API and LabVIEW driver is also provided.
This speed and ease-of-use means test will never be a bottleneck, and production line managers can achieve reliable, consistent results compared to the current low-cost alternatives like a distortion analyzer.
For companies outsourcing their production, requiring APx515 on the production line gives tighter control over production, ensuring manufacturers are meeting their contractual requirements.
JL Sub-Woofer
Reply
Took a look inside a JL subwoofer… quite the coil and suspension system. http://www.jlaudio.ca/home-audio-powered-subwoofers-fathom
JL audio dominates the Car stereo market in terms of driver quality. The salesman said the best line “We learned a lot from our 12 Volt line of products in designing this home theatre sub” so from now on, Car audio will be forever “the 12 volt industry”
Dual Spiders to support the super high excursion of the woofer… simply incredible design
Super cool Philips console
From the sale:
Up for sale is a rare 1970’s Philips LDC25 console. The console features 24 transformer balanced mic/line inputs, great sounding 3 band EQ, 2 aux sends per channel and 4 transformer balanced output busses. 16 of the input channels are early discrete LDC modules and the last 8 feature later 1970’s IC based modules – both sets of modules sound, for all intents and purposes, identical. The sound of this desk is punchy, clean and very hi-fi sounding – easily on par with anything built by Neve/Api/Studer from the same era. These were built by Philips in Holland for recording mostly classical music, but were built to a very high standard and also sound fantastic on modern tracks which require a very forward sounding mix with a very low noise floor. I bought this to use as the main console in our studio due to the high build quality, high track count, compact size, multiple sends and versatile output options – but I need to raise money for the completion of our house restoration which takes priority to the studio build out. All the manuals and module documentation are included. The console will be fully gone through by a qualified technician prior to shipping and/or pickup. All input/output wiring is terminated to panel mounted XLR connectors, so all you need to do is connect the console to your DAW/tape machine and you are ready to record – no wiring necessary.
The console is located two hours west of Chicago in IL. I’m happy to assist with freight shipping, but please understand due to the fragile nature of vintage electronics any risk associated with shipping is going to be your responsibility. Local pickup is welcome. Payment by check or wire transfer only for this listing. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I hope this console finds a good home!
got to hear some Bang-Olufsen Beolab-18
Will it fit… Tannoy Speakers
Picked up a set of Tannoy System-12s for the lab
I was worried they wouldn’t fit… They are 140 Litres each! I’m excited to hear them in action!
one had to go in the front seat…
