Post by: dragonser on June 06, 2014, 09:03:47 AM
Hi,
for those who like to have more notice of meetings, the July talk in Hoburn London is on the 8th of July 2014.
location
WSP Holborn
70 Chancery Lane
London

Lecture by Trevor Cox, University of Salford.
Joint lecture between the AES and IOA.
6.00 pm IOA AGM (All Welcome) / 6.30 pm Evening Presentation

Sonic Wonderland is a popular science book about the most remarkable sounds in the world. In this talk, Trevor will look at some of the detailed acoustic science behind a few of the wonders, picking examples that required first hand research by himself. It will begin by solving the mystery of Echo Bridge, something that first appeared in the Journal of Acoustical Society of America in the 1940s. Trevor will present measurements that he made at the badly tuned musical road in California. To finish, he will look at the detailed acoustic properties of the world's 'longest echo', and explain why the record isn't for the longest reverberation time.
