好贵哦！

 Very good event!

而且好远

 顶一下这个帖子.

在美国经济出现大变的情况下,
这个会议是很有意义的.

会议的主讲人里,有好几个专家,我是不同程度不同上有过近距离接触.

Mike Klasco 先生是多次见过面的朋友,他是个理论和实际紧密接合的真才实学的电声专家,
又是个中国通,(当然有些可靠的中国朋友).

德国的Wolfgang Klippel先生是有名的KLIPPEL测试系统的老板,其实是个大教授,在AES会刊上的文章
应当说是经典了.

美国的Steve Temme先生是ALMA的领导班子里的一员吧,
他是个专家,对于扬声器的设计,测试和质量控制的全过程有清澈和全面的掌握.

单单是能听到上述几位专家的论述(特别是现在这个时段,....)
就是非常宝贵的了.

另一位主讲人Phil Bunch 先生是哪位呢?
请读下面这段引文吧.

ALMA Announces New President and Vice Presidents

 

ALMA elected new officers within its Board of Directors at the ALMA Symposium in Las Vegas. Stu Lumsden, VP of Engineering at Polk Audio was elected President. He has served on the board for several years, most recently as Vice President.

As part of ALMA’s drive to become more international, three vice presidents were appointed, one for each major loudspeaker-producing region of the world. Bart Young of Acoustic Design Inc will represent North and South America, US, Wolfgang Klippel of Klippel GmbH will represent Europe and Phil Bunch of Phase Design will represent Asia. This international diversity will ensure that the interests and needs of each continent are well understood by the board, enabling ALMA to continue to be recognized as the leading worldwide authority and networking community for the loudspeaker industry. It will also facilitate ALMA’s international recruitment drive – an important 2006 marketing activity.

 

Stu Lumsden, Polk Audio – President
Stu Lumsden joined Polk Audio in January of 1977 as the 23rd employee and has continued there for his entire 30 year career in the loudspeaker industry. During that time he has worked in virtually every area of loudspeaker manufacturing and design. His primary focus over that past 20 years has been in the design & development of new transducers and loudspeaker systems. Stu is currently the VP of Engineering at Polk Audio. He holds a masters degree in computer science from the Johns Hopkins University in his native Baltimore and studied undergraduate communications and physics at Towson University. Stu has been an active member of the AES, ALMA and the Product Development Management Association. He has served as VP for ALMA for the past two years.

 

Bart Young, Acoustic Design, Inc – Vice President, North and South America
Bart Young is second generation leadership for Acoustic Design, Inc (ADI) and its family of companies. ADI provides support to manufacturers and OEMs in the loudspeaker and related fields.  ADI has grown from a single facility manufacturer's representative into a complete source for electro-mechanical device manufacturing with facilities in Asia and the United States. Mr. Young has been active in ALMA for more than 10 years and continues to promote the organization and its benefits worldwide. ADI and its companies provide goods and services to almost every level of loudspeaker manufacturer worldwide and supplies specialized manufacturing equipment for magnetic charging to the industry.

 

Wolfgang Klippel, Klippel GmbH – Vice President, Europe
Wolfgang Klippel founded Klippel GmbH in 1997 to produce novel control and measurement systems for loudspeakers and other transducers. Prior to that he worked at a loudspeaker company in Leipzig where he was engaged in the research of transducer modeling, acoustic measurement and psychoacoustics, and also worked at the Audio Research Group in Waterloo, Canada and Harman International in Northridge, CA before moving back to his native Germany in 1995 to become a consulting engineer. He holds a doctor-engineering degree in technical acoustics and he studied electrical engineering at the University of Technology in Dresden where he graduated in Speech recognition.  Wolfgang has been on the ALMA board for the past year and has assisted in organizing member-drives at recent AES shows in the US and Europe.

 

Phil Bunch, Phase Design – Vice President, Asia
Phil Bunch is the founder of Phase design, a Shenzhen, China based company providing engineering, design and QA services to the audio industry. Phase Design also manufactures precision assembly equipment and systems for manufacturing drivers, tweeters and full assemblies. He founded the company 4 years ago after holding the position of operations director for Eastern Asia Industries and Engineering manager for Esoteric Group.  Phil’s wife, Nancy, is also a big part of Phase Design. She holds several high level certificates for Chinese—English translation and is well known in the industry here in Asia. Phase Design provided translation services to the 2004 and 2005 ALMA symposium in China and will be active in the 2006 symposium in China.

 

公平地讲,其实谈不上贵啊.

对深圳的企业和有关人员来讲,不远.

对深圳而言,不远.

我想对于广大工程技术人员来说,需要关注,并合法得到会议有关资料就可.

希望有关企业的技术主管和市场主管或对技术和市场开发有兴趣的老板们
能争取参于.

提醒一句:
听课也是很累的一件事.

 时间:10月18日-19日.
地点:深圳南海酒店.

就是说在深圳,蛇口,蛇口港附近?
对不对?
请知道的朋友确认一下.

我只想知道现场是否全程外语演讲?

如果是,全程下来估计都是一知半解了.毕竟长时间,大词汇量的,持续性的外语听,理解能力还是有限.

费用倒是可以接受的.

 就是蛇口海上世界附近那个,看了网站,确认是那里,跟上届一样.

去年是有中文翻译的.
南海酒店,是在太子路上的,环境不错.(蛇口海上世界的南边)

明年１月，ＣＥＳ展时，中国电声协会也去洛杉矶开研讨会．
