Exhibit at the 2007 ALMA Winter Symposium
2007 Exhibitors
Anadigm Anadigm will be demonstrating their SonicMaster family - an advanced subwoofer signal processing module solution for quickly upgrading existing subwoofer plate amplifier designs with an enhanced feature set. This allows for state-of-the art subwoofers with minimal cost and negligible product development.
Ferrolabs FerroLabs’ LiquidAudio(TM) ferrofluids are specifically designed for the loudspeaker industry. The unique heat-transfer properties of LiquidAudio ferrofluids contribute to both an increase in power capacity and a lower operating temperature, which improves performance and reduces the risk of speaker failure. FerroLabs has been developing ferrofluid technology for over 30 years. Our core team of scientists and engineers pioneered the technology in Russia. Many hold multiple patents. In addition to our standard product line, we specialize in customization. We pride ourselves on working with our clients to develop application-specific solutions. FerroLabs is your quality partner for loudspeaker manufacturing.
Ferrotec (USA) Corp. Ferrotec, the world leader in ferrofluid for the loudspeaker industry since 1973, offers a complete line of high reliability ferrofluids that increase yield during the manufacture of speakers, improve speaker performance by stabilizing voice coil motion, and extend speaker life. The new APG 1100 series fluids offer next generation, cost-competitive fluid for tweeters and midrange speakers with unparalleled performance. The new developmental APG CD series fluids is the answer for the demanding high temperature requirements of power compression drivers.
GRAS Gras will be showing a selection of microphones ranging from the smallest 1/8-inch high frequency microphones to 1-inch microphones for low levels and frequencies. The wide selection of both free-field microphones, pressure microphones and random-incidence microphones makes it easy to select the microphone for your specific application. The range of microphones is supported by a comprehensive range of high-performance preamplifiers and a wide selection of accessories.
K&K International K & K International specializes in acoustic test systems designed for fast and efficient quality control of loudspeaker units, loudspeaker systems, headphones, handsets and microphones. The P630 Product and smaller systems as P730 and P830 together with a new pre amplifier will be demonstrated as well as new software versions. A wide range of parameters can be measured including frequency response, sensitivity, average, polarity, rub & buzz, THD, impedance, resonance and Q. The result can be returned as an "approved / rejected" result or full test results can be displayed. It can, at the same time, save all data for further statistical analysis in less than 1 second.
Klippel GmbH Klippel GmbH will be demonstrating their R&D and QC systems. The KLIPPEL R&D SYSTEM is a universal measurement system for all kind of parameters and acoustical measurements of suspension parts, transducers (e.g. woofers) and complete electro-acoustical systems (loudspeakers). As a development tool it complements other design tools (FEA, BEA) and supports the comparison of predicted and measured results. The KLIPPEL QC SYSTEM is dedicated to 100% loudspeaker testing at the end of the production line. High-speed performance and flexible software allows integration into fully automated production lines as well as manual testing. An intuitive user interface and smart limit setting algorithms shorten training and setup periods. META-HEARING-TECHNOLOGY offers a highly sensitive detection of Rub&Buzz defects by actively isolating the defects from regular distortion of motor and suspension.
KSC Industries KSC Industries will be showing the Digmoda Series Plate Amplifiers with D-Pro Digital Signal Audio Processor. The D-Pro is a 96 KHz, 24 bit digital audio processing solution for use in loudspeaker correction. D-Pro Windows Software makes speaker correction, setting up crossovers, and equalization easy by allowing the import of a speaker response measurement file that is plotted on a graph and visually and dynamically equalized in real time by manipulating selected biquad filters using Visual-Handles dragged with a mouse. File types include Clio, LMS, MLSSA, Liberty Praxis, SoundCheck or any other requested format. The DSP configurations can then be stored in non-volatile flash memory, or saved to, or loaded from files on the user’s PC hard-drive.
Listen, Inc. Listen, Inc. will be demonstrating the new version 7.0 of SoundCheckTM – the leading software based test system for R&D and production line testing of loudspeakers and other electroacoustic and audio electronic devices. This new version offers many additional and improved features including multichannel analysis, a new sequence wizard to simplify test set-up for first-time users, an improved loose particle algorithm, an improved multitone stimulus and new post-processing algorithms. The new FFT and inverse FFT algorithms allow you to easily post-process in either the time or the frequency domain, for example, when combining far- field and near-field measurements. This is particularly useful for examining the impulse response of a spliced loudspeaker measurement.
Loudsoft Loudsoft will present the new FINELab(TM) QC system. This robust and reliable system with USB interface offers a range of features including high speed testing with CHIRP, sensitivity, SPL, polarity, and Thiele/Small parameters, measurement of SPL + impedance at the same time, adaptive response limits, intelligent statistics and automatic finding of the “Golden” average driver. Loudsoft will also be demonstrating its simulation software programs and discussing its consultancy services.
Propex, Inc.
Phase Design
R&D Team R&D Team will be demonstrating Vacs (Visualising ACousticS), a software package that has been developed by engineers for engineers to simplify the way they visualise, process and store their acoustic data. Comparing measurements or simulations of differing origins is easy, because Vacs supports a broad range of proprietary file formats (MLSSA, Clio, EASERA, B&K, etc.) and also comes with a highly configurable ASCII-import. Vacs offers sophisticated tools for analysing directivity data, for example those produced by turntable or microphone cluster measurements. Vacs keeps data analysis and storage simple, allowing engineers to focus on using their creativity to invent and develop great products.
VoiceCoil / Audio Amateur Audio Amateur will be showcasing three of their publications targeted towards this industry. Voice Coil is the leading, worldwide news source in the loudspeaker industry, with a niche audience of OEM engineers and professionals looking for suppliers of drivers, components, test & measurement equipment and software, materials and services. Multi Media Manufacturer reaches a global audience of decision- making engineers and product developers at audio- visual OEMs/ODMs. They are the makers of a wide array of A/V entertainment technology products – focusing on home entertainment, mobile audio/video, multimedia computing, professional audio, and more. The annual Loudspeaker Industry Sourcebook is the most comprehensive resource for industry OEMs, specifiers, and buyers. It contains 16 sections, 200 separate categories, and over 600 companies from around the globe. From adhesives to domes, crossovers to voice coils, assembly to reconing, and every material, product and service in between – you’ll find it in this unique, invaluable guide.
Are you a supplier of speaker assemblies, drivers, speaker testing equipment, etc.?
If so, then the ALMA Symposium is the place for you to exhibit. The ALMA Symposium is different from other larger industry exhibitions in that it is unique in its specific focus on the needs of speaker manufacturers. The exhibition is limited to companies that supply products to manufacturers and may include:
The ALMA Symposium is a networking event. Technical training sessions, paper presentations and round table discussions draw attendees from a range of functions in many loudspeaker companies. Breakfast and lunch is supplied to the attendees in the exhibit hall, keeping them close to your booth and ensuring that you have the time to speak to them informally as well as when they are at your booth. The small size of the show (compared to events such as AES, CES, NAMM, etc.) means that visitors really do get to visit every booth. At only $480 for a tabletop booth (if you book before 10/25/2005) and $600 after that date, it is a low-cost show that everyone can afford! And, since it takes place the two days immediately before CES, you can also visit the CES show as part of the same trip!
