  • We need to talk about CEDIA

    We need to talk about CEDIA
    Jan 10 2026

    CEDIA. The industry association for smart home professionals.


    Particularly, we're focusing on all the bits *we* really like - the education and training, CPD outreach, and the various industry standards and RPs.


    Our friend Peter Aylett has been deeply involved with all of it - he was chair of RP22, served five years as Standards chair, CEDIA fellow, board member, the CPD trainer for EMEA over many years, and loads more besides. So he came on to talk to us about it all, plus some teasers about all the amazing education happening at ISE this year, including a one-day RP32 audio measurement workshop on Monday 2nd Feb.


    We're doing all of it, what about you?

    • Using digital EQ and limiters to achieve better bass extension


    • Infra-bass - how it's done and what it does


    • Updates on our Level 2 training course


    Plus the usual swearing and nonsense.

    Mar 30 2025

    We went all the way to Barçelona, just to build a million pound cinema (OK, we helped a bit), with Trinnov, Officina Acustica, Perlisten and others, and we had a blast.


    We also took some training and went round the show.

    Although we're a podcast we also run an introductory calibration course for our industry friends using RoomEQ Wizard software.


    This time we're joined by Tom Lanham (Lano), lead engineer at Wall of Sound, who was one of our first course attendees and a bit of a star pupil.

    Jan 7 2025
    No particular theme for this episode - we accidentally took a few weeks off with our day jobs so we thought we'd ramble a bit and get caught up!

  • Tom and Owen go to space

    Tom and Owen go to space
    Oct 9 2024
    The RP22 performance targets cover timbre ( timber if you're Northern), dynamics and spatial resolution. Spatial resolution has the longest set of metrics - there's 11 of them. This time out we go though and explain the spatial metrics in a bit more detail, what they're for and how they make your cinema better. Less sweary than some episodes - we're trying to behave properly. Ish.

    All the feels
    Sep 5 2024
    This time, emotional hot-head Owen and calm, relaxed Tom discuss the emotional impact of a cinema system. We know that a better engineered system creates a deeper emotional connection with the audience, but why is that? Come with us on the hero's journey and find out.
