Hey there flopster,

He`s been with IASCA since `93 and I since `96. We used the official IASCA disc from `98. This disk has some ather interesting tracks. One, is of a shuttle launch and numerous other tracks. This track plus a few of the "SPL" tracks that use synthisized bass.
One tune in particular, has a "sliding" scale that starts at about 1khz and goes for the basement of 15hz. As this sliding scale headed low, the interior of the car quickly became a rather unhealthy place to be. I thought that the glass in the car was going to go but after a second look, he had already replaced the glass with a high lead content glass thats nearly an inch thick.
The "shuttle" track was done (per the CD pamphlet) at Cape Canaveral sometime in 1997. This track has gobbs of low frequency information going down to 6hz which was the lower limit of the recorder used. Unfortunately, he has nothing for tbe front stage to speak of so a "listening" test could not be performed. The current settings crossed over to the subs at 55hz with little sound above this mark.
In the coming weeks, he will have decided on components for the sound stage. On that day, I hope to be there with a few of my own recordings.
