Hi everyone,

Have you read the series of articles? I believe this is the first time to introduce the material to you here.

- Audio Quality in Networked Systems -
This biweekly series of white paper presents a summary of the most important quality issues in networked audio systems to support system designers and sound engineers in maximizing their system’s Performance and Response, achieving the maximum Audio Quality and Sound Quality.

And we have uploaded the sixth chapter of the "Audio Quality in Networked Systems" series yesterday.
I hope you will find something new with it.

Digital SR Systems 101 in Denver

Thank you for attending the class!
It is great weather here this time. The seminar room is next to a pool and we couldn't wait for finishing the class before jumping into the pool!!

Digital SR Systems 101 in Kansas City, KS

Thank you, Kansas attendees.
It was a small class but we had good time here. I believe the DSR101 is one of our best seminars. We just need more promotion for this seminar to make people know about it.

Anyway, it was a good class again. I hope you could get good ideas for the digital SR system we talked. SR systems now include more and more digital equipment. Use it in the right way and get all advantages from it.

Digital SR Systems 101 in Buena Park, CA

I and Jose always say DSR101 is our best seminar. From microphones to speakers, four or more teachers are talking about SR system. It is a very interesting and informative class.
Please give us your comment about the class!
