A Bridge to Better Audio?

Returning from ALMA International Symposium & Expo (AISE) and CES 2016 show in Las Vegas - both extremely enlightening and motivating - we felt motivated to write about high-resolution audio (again). HRA was the main theme chosen for AISE 2016 – “Hi Res Audio: A Bridge To Build Or A Bridge Too Far?” – debated in all possible perspectives in an insightful and constructive manner.

In this article, Steve Temme discusses the issues that are common to testing all types of headphones. As more and more loudspeaker engineers find themselves employed in the fast-growing headphone market, it is important that the unique challenges of testing headphone packages are fully understood.

Mike Klasco interviewed Steve Temme, President of Listen, and asked about the important features and how to get the best performance of test and measurement microphones. He also learned about Listen’s recently released measurement microphone power supply. Originally published by Voice Coil, November 2013.

Preceding the CES 2015 Show, the Association of Loudspeaker Manufacturing & Acoustics (ALMA) International Winter Symposium 2015 is scheduled for January 3–4, 2015, at the Tuscany Suites and Casino in Las Vegas, NV and will feature a Technical Track with industry luminaries as Wolfgang Klippel, Sean Olive, Steve Temme, Rob Baum, Daniel Knighten, Christopher Struck, and many more!
