Earl
is an audio enthusiast with an intense interest in the acoustics domain. Realizing
very early on that the weak link in
virtually all audio systems was the acoustic sound production
(loudspeaker, room, etc.) he
focused his attention on this aspect of the sound reproduction problem.
Today, Earl is one of the leading
authorities in loudspeaker design and small room acoustics today.
In
addition to his audio expertise Earl has a tremendous knowledge of noise control with an
expertise in both active and passive methods of control. After
all, one cannot enjoy a good sound system when there is too much
background noise!
With
several years spent in the hearing aid industry Earl gained a good
understanding of the basics of hearing and perception of sound.
While the real expert in this field is his partner Dr.
Lidia Lee, Earl has his own unique perspective on subjective aspects
of audio and sound quality.
Earl's
current areas of interest are compressed audio, home theatre, and
loudspeaker simulation and measurement.
