Hi folks
I came across this board when following a thread on the Danville Signal DSP devices and thought it looked like a good place to hang out.
I've been around the audio business for a long time - 1970 or so - and worked in development engineering for a good proportion of my career - I was Technical Director at Celestion for a while, and also at Tannoy. I'm long retired now but like to keep a watching brief on what's happening.
My current project is a total re-engineering of my Celestion 6000 system into a modern 3-way active setup [hence my interest in Danville signal]. I've already acknowledge that the good ideas in that system have been picked up and run with so that it lags a long way from modern standards, so there'll be beryllium tweeters and completely rebuilt bass/mids in the Aerolam cabinets of my SL700s and the dipole bass system will be completely rebuilt. I want access to the Danville Signals processing equipment to generate crossovers and drive unit conditioning profiles, plus various time delays to integrate the system into one apparent source and to shape and steer the output of the dipole sub bass system.
All in all this looked like a good place to get help and perhaps give a little back - I've a little bit of background - I did my first three way active, DSP controlled loudspeaker system in 1997 and exhibited it at the Heathrow HiFi show that year - all I could find back then was the XTA DP226 because that was pretty much the only product on the market and its limited muscle made things difficult to get right - I look at some of the modern kit like DEQX and positively drool
Anyway: this is me and it's good to meet you.
