I noticed a couple of nice changes in Rod's life. He may be too modest to point them out himself. Congratulations on the Educator position with GIK! That is a nice new avatar image! Observantly, Andre

Well what can we say. Rod has been not only a great friend, was major help at the beginning (has it been 7 years??), but the best person I could think of for the position. As I said yesterday: " You know what they say about successful companies......................HAVE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!" Companies are not built by one persons ego, but a teams effort.

I have a whole new love for Rod now that I know he's got such a bad ass beard.

I presume that is 'manly love' as compared to 'man-love'. The beard IS rather impressive. I hope the extra absorption doesn't affect the mix |

Ditto Rod! Btw Rod, if you don't mind me asking..exactly what does an "educator" do in a company? Outside of "education" companies, I can't say I've ever heard of a "educator" position in a typical company . | |

first - thanks for the "thumbs up"....... I appreciate it. That having been said - the following absorption coefficients are taken from Beard Testing performed at a certified testing lab (which will remain nameless): 80hz..........100hz.........125hz......160hz........200hz........250hz 0.03..........0.03...........0.05........0.08..........0.13...........0.25 Please note that the testing was performed with me mounted directly in a corner of the reverb chamber, but this was cool for me because: 1. Lying on the floor and having my edges banded was not sounding like all that great of an idea. and 2. I am quite used to the corners because that is where the wife sends me every time she's pissed.

you're sure you also counted the belly absorption factor as well?  |

Folks, Much to my regret I had to leave my position at GIK Acoustics. My schedule is such that I just do not have the time to devote to the company, which is going to be made even worse by the fact that I am going to be tied up for the next 2 years in a project that just popped onto the scene just 2 weeks ago. This is very unfortunate, but necessary. Glenn and I part (business) company on only the best of terms. He is though - and will remain - a personal friend. My best to Glenn and GIK, thanks for the opportunity, I am sorry I could not make it work out. Rod |
