Oceanway Audio to Demonstrate AeroWave Sound System at NAMMBurbank-based Oceanway Audio (booth 16315), led by legendary audio innovator and multiple GRAMMY® award-winner Allen Sides, will be hosting live demonstrations of its new AeroWave AW-9045 large-venue sound system technology at the NAMM 2023 exhibition. The demonstrations will occur each day at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. in room 201D, upstairs across the Sky Bridge.

"We look forward to meeting with our customers, colleagues and partners at NAMM 2023," commented Allen Sides, CEO and Founder of Oceanway Audio. "We are looking forward to demonstrating the AeroWave AW-9045 — our very latest point source system for live sound applications. This is a system that delivers superior clarity and definition, no matter where you are seated in a venue. Most importantly, it is very musical and fun to listen to."

Oceanway Audio's innovative AeroWave system has the widest linear horizontal and vertical dispersion of any comparable array system currently manufactured. Further, it is the only live sound system with superb directivity all the way down to 125Hz, which is simply not possible on line arrays using multiple, direct radiating components. The AeroWave system is also roughly 10 dB more efficient than other conventional line arrays because of its incredibly efficient straight horn design. The result is increased power efficiency: it only requires approximately one third of the power conventional systems require to reach the same volume. The result is lower distortion, and a more natural sound — even at high sound pressure levels.

One the key differentiating factors of the AeroWave system is that it only requires one crossover point between two truly constant directivity high frequency and low frequency horns with identical flare rates. This eliminates the need for excessive amounts of digital corrections which are often needed to remediate anomalies present in multi-crossover/multi-direct radiator line array systems. Most importantly, the AeroWave system is able to impart an incredibly natural, ultra-wide bandwidth, truly high-fidelity sound — without a trace of harshness.

Hype grows for SpaceX’s Starship orbital flight test, but barriers remainMore and more hype is building for the first orbital flight test of Starship, SpaceX’s ultra-heavy launch system. That hype has started to reach a crescendo this week as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released an air traffic advisory identifying April 10 as a primary launch date. Adding gasoline to the fire, earlier today SpaceX CEO Elon Musk liked a tweet that simply reads “April 10” with a GIF of a rocket launching.
While April 10 is shaping up to be the closest we’ve come to an even semi-solid launch date, the FAA has yet to issue the all-important launch license to SpaceX. This final regulatory green-light is a nonnegotiable step before the company can conduct the test. As of yet, there’s been no indication that that license is imminently forthcoming.
Further, as Ars Technica science editor Eric Berger pointed out on Twitter, there is also a very real possibility of a civil suit being filed over environmental issues immediately following the issuance of the launch license. In this case, a judge would have the power to issue a temporary injunction blocking the flight test until that civil suit is resolved.
It would not be the first time SpaceX and environmentalists have clashed over the company’s activities at Starbase, the Starship development facility in Boca Chica, Texas. Immediately surrounding Starbase are wildlife refuges and a state park, both home to what environmentalists say are fragile ecosystems that could be existentially threatened by ongoing orbital operations. The FAA published its final environmental assessment of Starbase and the Starship flight program last summer, finding that SpaceX’s plans would not result in significant impacts to the environment and requiring the company to complete a number of mitigation measures before flight testing begins.
The Starship launch system is composed of a Super Heavy booster and an upper stage that’s also named Starship. The rocket has become critical to the future of the space economy, with multiple startups banking on it coming online for their business plans, as well as to NASA, which has made it a centerpiece of its Artemis program to return humans to the moon — not to mention its centrality to Musk’s own vision of expanding humanity to Mars.
