The Boston Audio Society (BAS) is an independent nonprofit member-supported organization promoting the highest quality of music reproduction and home theater, plus high standards in recording and transmission. More than just a local society, the BAS attempts to speak to the worldwide community of audio and video enthusiasts. Founded in 1972, the BAS meets monthly to hear and discuss developments i

n audio, video and related fields. Guest speakers have included prominent engineers, designers, researchers, editors and reviewers, musicians and critics, broadcasters and recording producers. On occasion we hold joint meetings with the Boston chapters of the AES (Audio Engineering Society), SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers), and the ASA (Acoustical Society of America). Our noncommercial journal, the B A S Speaker (BASS), includes comprehensive and lively coverage of these meetings as well as reviews, news columns, features, letters and other articles on a variety of audio and video topics. BAS members range from the novice enthusiast to the technically sophisticated. Consumers and producers of audio and video equipment are both represented. Members include freelance journalists, reviewers, and editors at audio and home theater magazines, as well as design engineers, recording engineers, consultants, and researchers who influence product development and the course of the industry. Some members work for manufacturers (as technician, design engineer, or marketing manager), others for dealers. All are devotees — audiophiles and videophiles in the best sense of the term — and tend to be technically and technologically aware, informed about the marketplace, and keenly interested in scientific approaches to audio and video. For these reasons, the BAS and the Speaker are a vital forum. As someone involved in audio or video, you might well find the group an interesting, helpful resource. Our meetings and journal might help shape the future of consumer and pro audio/video even while clarifying its past. Manufacturers, for example, can use the BAS to follow trends and developments, and to gather informed reactions to products and events. At the least we attempt to be a clearinghouse for ideas, helping various parts of the industry and experienced consumers keep in touch with one another.

Boston Audio Society September Meeting

Zoom

Sunday September 28 at 2p ET

Guest: Perry Marshall, DIY Live Edge Dipole

(see photo at bottom)

With this meeting BAS members and guests have the opportunity for a remarkable presentation.

Two years ago Perry Marshall earned first place in the Dayton Audio Speaker Design Competition. Open Unlimited Category, Parts Express 2023 Speaker Design Competition: Marshall took part in the Open Unlimited category of the competition, where entrants could use any components and design speakers without cost restrictions. From a field of 59 contestants, Perry’s ‘Live Edge Dipoles’ were awarded first place. One judge commented, “The best way to not sound like a box is: Don’t use a box.”

Marshall will speak on 'Understanding Dipole Room Loading and Frequency Response'. During the Zoom meeting he will present graphs and tables to support why the dipole 'room-loading frequency response' is particularly suited for home playback.

The Live Edge Dipoles were featured on the cover of AudioXpress magazine in January 2021. The accompanying article offers a detailed description of the system as it was at the time: https://audioxpress.com/article/you-can-diy-perry-marshall-the-live-edge-dipolesor or
