Synopsis

If Bad Sound Were Fatal, AudioWould be the Leading Cause of Death is about the "mind set" surrounding themost successful education idea in the audio industry, started by Don &Carolyn Davis, the founders of Synergetic Audio Concepts. Taken from over twenty years of Syn-Aud-ConNewsletters, If Bad Sound Were Fatal-- is thenon technical side of what was shared world-wide with thousands of Syn-Aud-Con"grads." It is a look at what inspired, thrilled, educated, re-directed, andentertained those on the journey to professionalism in audio and acoustics. Itis what the Davises foundinteresting, both in their own experiences and in the experiences of theirgrads. Liberally annotated with 2003comments on the original articles, it reveals the humorous,the travel experiences, philosophy, management mishaps, mistakes and myths, andis a cornucopia of shared synergetic insights on everything from audio toxylophones. There is a heavy dose ofhistory of audio giants, many of whom the Davisesknew personally, and the explosion of audio knowledge moving the audio industryout of the 1920s into the 21st century. The majority of the book canserve as an "ink blot" of diverse individuals who shared what amused,entertained and informed them. If youapproach this book logically, you're doomed to failure. It is an extreme caseof "free association" reminiscences.

Biographie de l'auteur

Don & Carolyn Davis form a unique husbandand wife team working in audio, starting in 1951 with The Golden Ear in Lafayette, IN, selling eclectic highfidelity equipment. Don was Paul Klipsch's Presidentin charge of Vice in the late 50s, and worked for Altec Lansing from 1959 until1972 where he was co-inventor of 1/3-octave equalization. The Davises founded Synergetic AudioConcepts in 1973 in response to the growing need in the audio industry fortraining in the fundaments of sound reinforcement. Their work in equalization,speech intelligibility and recording technologies provided the backbone fordeveloping training seminars and workshops. Don has authored three books, AcousticalTests and Measurements in 1965, How to Build Speaker Enclosures in1968, co-authored with Alex Badmaieff, which has sold over 200,000 copies, and SoundSystem Engineering, co-authored with his wife, Carolyn, in 1975. They areworking on the 3rd edition with co-author, Dr. Eugene Patronis. The authors of this book, after enduringreally poor sound quality at a meeting of a professional audio society, utteredin frustration, "If bad sound were fatal, audio would be the leading cause ofdeath." They have spent their professional careerswriting and lecturing on sound system engineering. The audio industry hasgenerously recognized their efforts as instrumental in the better sound qualitywe enjoy today. Don & Carolyn are both Fellows of the Audio EngineeringSociety and have received many awards in the audio industry. In the process of communicating with thegrads of their seminars on audio and acoustics, a quarterly Newsletter wasestablished. Most of the Newsletter was technical in nature, but also containedthe evolving mindset that bonded teachers and grads into something notoriginally expected - a fraternity of people dedicated to changing an industry.These excerpts from the Syn-Aud-ConNewsletters, annotated in 2003, go back to the beginning of these changes inthe industry up to the Davises' retirement i
