You need a room—pretty much all to yourself and big enough so others can join you on occasion.

I recently attended the Audio Engineering Society's Technical Conference on Multichannel Audio, held in late June in Banff, Canada.

What a year! It's been 12 months now since the terrorist attacks on our country. What's happened? Where are we?

This column will be devoted to the basics of surround sound for video, as part of my series for non-audio folks.

Our Story To Date. Alert readers may recall my recent concern with the variance in audio levels as experienced by us home viewers.

Alert readers will recall that I've been hinting about some new loudspeakers that I've been involved with, for quite some time now. Well, they're out and they are definitely worth talking about!

An exciting array of new microphones and related technology will be introduced at NAB this year.

Last month I ranted about the state of loudspeaker design and performance, and promised you that I’d devote several columns to this worthy topic.

Two months ago we ranted about bad audio, goaded on by reader Bro Duke, who wants the FCC to DO SOMETHING about it! Well, we got a fair amount of mail, with some interesting horror stories.
