CD-I: What is it?CD-I (Compact Disc Interactive) is considered the format of the future, as a CD-I player can display audio, video, and computer data, giving users the ability to control exactly what they want to see and hear, and when. The audio capabilities are particularly enhanced, thanks to the latest digital audio technology. Options range from 70 minutes of stereo PCM digital audio to 16 times that amount in […]
The How, What, and Why of the OLONThe Dutch Association of Local Broadcasters (OLON), once seen as a hobby club for a group of radio volunteers, has evolved into a professional organization focused on knowledge sharing and advocacy. Toos Bastiaansen, a mass communication doctoral candidate who has worked with OLON for five years, notes the shift firsthand. Her title, once “field consultant,” now reads “policy officer”—a telling example of the […]
Renkus Heinz Smart SystemsThe use of processors for speaker systems is rapidly increasing, as a well-designed processor can significantly enhance system performance. However, this only works with a well-designed processor! Many manufacturers consider a standard electronic crossover to be a processor, but that's not how it works! A proper processor should:Split the signal into optimal frequency bands for each speaker,Correct deviations in the speaker’s characteristic and phase behavior,Time-align the different […]

Barcus Berry ElectronicsBBE 822 Audio ProcessorThe BBE 822 is an audio processor that uses phase correction circuitry to compensate for sound distortion caused by speaker systems. The result is that harmonic frequencies regain their original phase relationships, restoring the overall sound to its original clarity, phase character, and transients. The audio signal is split into three frequency bands: up to 150 Hz, from 150 Hz to 1200 Hz, and from […]
Technics ST-G70 and ST-G90 FM/AM TunersThe latest technologies for optimal reception, even in 'busy' frequency bands, are utilized to ensure the best reception quality under challenging conditions. The IF (Intermediate Frequency) section employs computer-controlled automatic bandwidth selection:Normal Bandwidth: 55 dB ± 400 kHzNarrow Bandwidth: 30 dB ± 200 kHz (engaged when interference within 300 kHz is detected)This technique is also applied in the RF (Radio Frequency) section. Interference between different […]
The Technics SL-XP6 CD Walkman Since the introduction of the so-called Personal Stereo System—the Walkman—the consumption of music has increased dramatically. The advent of the Compact Disc brings a new development to the Personal Stereo System, namely the CD Walkman. Although the price of such a device is still significantly higher than that of a cassette Walkman, the range of options is rapidly expanding. Sony offers the D-20 (approximately 500 […]
ELECTRIC SOUND: the entire range of disco equipment from one brand Located in Weesp is the company Electric Sound. For years, this company has been importing equipment from Dynacord. A word that many mispronounce; it is not "Dainacord" but "Dunacord". The brand originates from Germany, and the Greek "y" is pronounced as "u" in German. Since the early seventies, Dynacord has been building mixing consoles specifically for discotheques. Therefore, they can boast extensive experience. In addition to Dynacord, they also import […]
