CROWN TECHNOLOGIES: The Past, Present and Future of our Amplifiers, IQ Systems and more...

Scott Potosky, Design Engineer with Crown for 14 year will discuss Crown innovative products...where they've come from and where they are going.

CROWN AUDIO, A HARMAN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY, manufactures amplifiers, mics and systems control products for professional audio worldwide featuring channel-independent selection of high- and low-impedance operation, Crown CTs amplifiers are the new standard for installed sound.

BIO: SCOTT POTOSKY, Design Engineer, CROWN

Scott is 14 years at Crown, six years as a design engineer, four years as project engineer, four years as product development manager for IQ and Amplifier new product development groups. Most recent effort was to direct the development of the new CTs amp (two-channel) series.

OVERVIEW FROM DR. JOHN VANDERKOOY ON DIGITAL AMPLIFIERS

Dr. John Vanderkooy, a long time supporter of the Toronto Section and a Canadian Treasure will bring us up to date with regard to digital amplifiers.

BIO: JOHN VANDERKOOY - Audio Research Group, University of Waterloo

John Vanderkooy was born in The Netherlands in 1941, but received all of his education in Canada, with a B. Eng. degree in engineering physics in 1963 and Ph.D. in physics in 1967, both from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. For some years he followed his doctoral interests in low- temperature physics of metals at the University of Waterloo, where he is currently a professor of physics. However, since the late 1970s, his research interests have been mainly in audio and electroacoustics.

A fellow of the AES and a member of the IEEE, Dr. Vanderkooy has contributed a variety of papers at conventions and to the Journal. Together with his colleague Stanley Lipshitz and a number of graduate and undergraduate students, they formed the Audio Research Group at the University of Waterloo.

Dr. Vanderkooy's current interests are digital audio signal processing, measurement of transfer functions with maximum-length sequences, transducers, diffraction of loudspeaker cabinet edges, and most recently sub-surface analysis techniques using maximum-length sequences.
