For the forthcoming AES show, EAW will celebrate its silver anniversary in style both on and off the booth. The celebration begins with a special EAW trivia contest to be held on the EAW booth (#412) at 5:00pm every day of the show (10-13 October) as well as at midday on 11, 12 and 13 October. Up for grabs are seven limited-edition 25th anniversary black leather jackets.
Also on show will be live product demos of EAW's innovative new Digitally Steered Array (DSA) series and DSAPilot software as well as demos of SIA Software's latest version of SmaartLive. Mike Maynard, application support group manager, and Dave Gunness, director of research and development, will lead the DSA demonstrations. These demonstrations will cover design path and development of the DSA system, as well as provide an operational insight into the steering capabilities of the system, plus a tour of the DSAPilot software.
Jamie Anderson, product/market manager for SIA, will conduct demonstrations of SmaartLive 5, which will cover the fundamentals of setting up a measurement rig and using SmaartLive to make basic RTA, spectrograph, transfer function and impulse response measurements. The demo will also include the unveiling of the new SmaartLive interface for the DSA series.
In addition, Gunness will chair two white paper discussions at this year's show. The first, titled 'Implementation of a Wide-Bandwidth, Digitally Steered Array', is co-presented by Nathan Butler, design engineer at EAW. The presentation takes place on Friday, 10 October from 2:00-4:00pm. The second paper, 'Practical Benefits and Limitations of Digitally Steered Arrays', is co-presented by Bill Hoy, project engineer at EAW, on Friday, 10 October from 3:30-5:00pm.
Away from the show floor, EAW will host an exclusive invitation-only Silver Anniversary Bash at the completely renovated, newly opened nightclub Avalon New York City on Friday, 10 October at 7:00pm. Home of the former Limelight Club, Avalon NYC is the sister location to Avalon Boston, the namesake to EAW's performance club loudspeaker system.
