We have tentatively set a date for the June meeting as Mon 20th June.
It will be an in-person meeting at the SAE Institute Lecture Theatre.
In a followup to his October Zoom presentation (https://www.aesmelbourne.org.au/mtg-rpt-oct2021/),
Joe Hayes will demonstrate his DaS AuReality speaker systems.
Further details to follow shortly.
With COVID restrictions significantly eased, the Committee has made the decision to trial some in-person events as well as to maintain some online events for the 2022 meeting calendar.
On Monday April 11th a small cohort gathered in person for the first time in over two years for a Section Meeting. We visited the Involve Audio facility at Mentone, where Charlie Van Dongen demonstrated his designs for the complete surround sound chain with improved soundstage imaging – decoding, amplifier, loudspeaker processing, as well as electrostatic loudspeakers.
On arrival, we were greeted by a veritable feast of pizza and sandwiches along with soft drinks to start the evening.
We thank Charlie and his accounts person John Di Paolo for their generosity.
Charlie started out by introducing his colleagues David Alexandrou – head of electronics, Ron Berger -electronics and software development, and Wayne Cary – mechanical and process audio consultant, who would assist him with the demonstrations.
We are currently planning our next meeting for some time in April (whilst dodging the Easter break)
We are planning for it to be our first in-person event in more than two years.
(Note: there will be no online participation available for this event)
Charlie van Dongen of Involve Audio – who presented to us last year – will host us at his facility in Mentone (Vic) where he will demonstrate his immersive audio encoding/decoding and advanced loudspeaker technologies.
Bookings will be required, and numbers limited – so keep an eye out for when the bookings open.
Further details, and bookings will be available closer to the date – stay tuned!
