Newsletter – September 2010
Welcome to
this latest edition of the schacoustics aps newsletter. You
haven’t heard from us for a while so a lot of exciting things have happened in
the meantime.
EUSIPCO
2010
|
A few
days ago more than 500 DSP-experts met in Aalborg, Denmark for this year’s
European Signal Processing Conference. The one week conference
taking place in Aalborg
Congress and Culture Centre was organized by the European
Association for Signal Processing. Owner of schacoustics
aps Mr. Jens Schönemann-Paul participated in the conference as well as
the exhibition in connection to the conference area. The company’s display
was a part of a joint promotion of Danish electro acoustics on the initiative
by the organization Danish Sound Technology Network. A few
Danish companies and universities attended including one of our main
customers Bang & Olufsen Automotive showing the
state-of-the-art sound system in an Audi A8. As a part
of the exhibition schacoustics showed the new studio monitor Icon
DT-6Aair including the wireless AirCon
remote control for the first time in Denmark. During the week we got plenty of
positive feedback on the performance from the new loudspeaker system and a
lot of good talks with people from all parts of the world. |

New
product launch
The studio
monitor Icon DT-6Aair was globally released at Musikmesse
2010 in Frankfurt, Germany in March.
Icon
DT-6Aair incorporates advanced analog signal processing, high end drivers
developed in Denmark in close cooperation with the supplier as well as wireless
control of all user-settings in a complete 7.4 setup.
The new
speaker is developed in very close cooperation with our Hong Kong partner Icon-Global
who is also responsible for manufacturing and sales of the product. The monitor
is the second in a new series of high performance / low priced products for the
ambitious home studio or smaller professional studio or broadcasting facilities.
Radio in 3D – Part 2
|
DR, the national Danish Broadcasting
Corporation has recently released a new
web-site covering the fascinating world of 3D-sound. This is a follow up
to the
series of four broadcasts in December 2009 mentioned in a previous Newsletter. The new web-site gives you a popular scientific
introduction to the technique, simple advices on how to experiment on doing binaural
recordings yourself and not least a comprehensive selection of references and
web-links (Unfortunately only in Danish – but most of the references are in
English) |
|
In the
media
|
|
If you
want to take a look into development and production of high-end loudspeaker
drivers we can recommend the feature ’Regular Work – Scan Speak’ from the
Danish regional TV-station TV/Midt-Vest. The photographer and
journalist have visited schacoustics’
supplier and partner Scan-Speak in Videbæk, Denmark and you
will get insight into all aspects of development and manufacturing of high-end
units – and even meet a lot of Mr. Jens Schönemann-Paul’s former colleges
from his time in Videbæk a few years ago. Unfortunately
the program is not subtitled in English but even foreigners may find the
video from the production line and development facilities interesting. |
Mr. Jens
Schönemann-Paul has also become a ‘movie star’. In an inattentive minute during
Musikmesse
2010 he was caught by Simone Giacchetti, Product Manager from Esound, Italia for an improvised interview
in the middle of the jumble. Esound is distributor of Icon-Global’s products in
Italy. You can enjoy the video on YouTube.
Web-site
updated
At last we
will like to inform you that our web-site has been updated recently.
To meet
needs from our many foreign contacts the language has changed to English and
you are now able to read all previous Newsletters directly from the web-site.
