Alpha Audio Presentation about Networking for Audio

At the first edition of the Noir & Blanc Hifi Show in Brussels, we did a presentation about Streaming Audio Networks. We explained very shortly how networks work, the different media you can use to build a network and how to tweak it. And yes: we talked about the importance of decent equipment. Incluiding measurements to prove it :-).

Presentatie Van den Hul - Over naalden, kabels en meer!

Van den Hul zelf vertelt over zijn leven, akoestiek, kabels (en de materialen) en natuurlijk: vinyl. Hoe is hij tot zulke prachtige elementen gekomen? Waarom klinken kabels anders? En wat heeft hem gevormd tot wie hij nu is? Dit is een bijzonder interessante - en leuke, humoristische - presentatie om te zien. Mede omdat het anders dan anders is...!

An interview with Shunyata Research - About equipment grounding

We had a nice talk with Grant Samuelsen from Shunyata Research. We talk about how the company works, how they design their equipment ánd about an interesting new product: the Altaira. A grounding system that should improve the musical reproduction of practically any system. As a bonus we check out the Gemini: a small filter with also a grounding system.

Live Sound and Dolby Atmos for Music

We have another interesting talk about music with Ole from System Audio. This time we talk about live music and Dolby Atmos for music. How does that actually work? And what about surround sound with live concerts? And DSP's...? 

Active or Passive speakers?

It is always an interesting topic: to go active or to go passive... Well: in case of speakers. Both have advantages. And of course: disadvantages. I talk to Ole to go a little bit more in depth.
