12:00p - 1:00p Headphones 101
Simple in theory, headphones can be extraordinarily complicated electroacoustic devices. Join us for a clear overview of various driver designs (dynamic, planar magnetic, electrostatic, ribbons, etc.). Learn about basic acoustics, frequency response, impedance, sensitivity, and more. And most importantly, discover how to choose the headphone that best suits your needs.
Presenter: Makiah Shenay, HeadAmp Audio Electronics
2:00p - 3:00p The dCS Difference
From designing radar systems for naval jets, to developing the world’s first high-resolution digital converters, dCS 35 year history is filled with extraordinary moments. Join dCS Technical Director, Andy McHarg and Head of Customer Service, James Cook as they take a look at some of those landmark innovations, including their proprietary dCS Ring DAC™ and discover how dCS became a leading force in digital audio.
Presenters: Andy McHarg, Technical Director, dCS, James Cook, Head of Customer Service, dCS
3:00p - 4:00p Evolution Of Hearing Simulation, And An Examination Of Frequency Response Targets And How We Use Them
Jude Mansilla (of
Head-Fi.org) will examine how the most popular hearing simulation standard (“711”) was developed over 40 years ago, and how important advancements in the years since will inevitably lead to the adoption of emergent standards. He will also discuss frequency response targets, how they are used in the industry and by reviewers, and some important considerations therein. Are we missing the target?
Presenter: Jude Mansilla, Founder of Head-Fi.org

1:00p - 2:00p Solid-State Fidelity: An Introduction to the World’s First All-Silicon µSpeakers for Personal Audio Devices
This talk will introduce a new, all-silicon transduction mechanism that is set to disrupt century-old coil/magnet driver architectures. This new, solid-state architecture implements both actuation and diaphragm in silicon resulting in unmatched part-to-part frequency response and phase consistency. This innovative transduction mechanism has also produced the world's fastest and most precise µspeakers, eliminating spring and suspension recovery of coil speakers which improves audio quality and sound field reproduction.
Presenters: Mike Housholder, VP Product Marketing and Michael Ricci, Sr. Director Electroacoustic Engineering from xMEMS Labs, Inc.
2:00p - 3:00p Top Trends in Mass Premium Headphones
Through this presentation, we hope to highlight the top stats / key brands / features of the $200+ headphones segment and what we can expect in this space over the short to mid-term. We are also bringing out new consumer research that will shed some light on the demographic profile of consumers who seek to purchase premium headphones and what they would like to see from products at these price points.
Presenter: Arian Bassari, Lead Analyst, Futuresource Consulting
