Homepage HEAD acoustics GmbH.
HEAD acoustics GmbH was started in 1986: a small team of four people set on establishing a new concept in the marketplace: head-related recording and playback technology. Some people thought there was only a small chance of success! Head-related
recording and playback technology
Today, AACHENHEAD® Technology, thanks to its technical simulation of the human auditory apparatus, has set new horizons in this field. In marked contrast to conventional microphones, this technology makes it possible to record sound situations in a way analogous to how humans perceive them. Simulation of human hearing
Aurally-equivalent sound diagnosis enables identification of the negative components of a sound, identifying possible approaches to improving sound quality by introducing targeted (and thus cost-effective) countermeasures. Hundreds of Artificial Head Measuring Systems and PC-supported acoustic analysis systems in use world-wide ensure, for example, that manufacturers and suppliers in the automobile sector can freely exchange measurement data and analysis results in a way which bridges all linguistic barriers ...

GPM-216
Used in a live sound or studio environment, GPM-216 is a peer-to-peer, collaborative audio system for creating custom, individual monitor mixes....
The Smart Console;
Smart AV has created a new breed of console that sets a new standard of ergonomic efficiency associated with mixing and editing large numbers of channels – The Smart Console”. “The Smart Console™”, the first mixing control surface incorporating patented ARC technology™.
ARC Technology uses a physical ARC to present and unify the functions of interrogation and channel selection into a spatially fixed array providing instant access to any channel or combination of channels. Simply touch the strip, the desired channel and the channels surrounding it immediately appear in front of the operator, as though he/she had instantaneously moved in front of those channels on a traditional long console. With this single touch, 800 previously out of reach controls snap to within reach. Even the handwritten channel description is transferred to the strips in front of you. Alternatively, the sound engineer can access channels in any order as easily and as quickly as a musical director can point to his players.
Arc Technology™ greatly reduces the number of knobs on the control surface while also delivering an unprecedented reduction in keystroke activity, eye movements, and complex operating procedures in order to increase the creativity and efficiency of the operator by a factor of five ...
KDM introduced the "Octasound" Speaker System in 1985. This product is a completely self contained 360º Central Speaker Cluster shaped in the form of an Octagon. This new product design represented a radical departure from the normal approach of constructing a central speaker cluster. Before the introduction of the "Octasound" Central Speaker, it was normal practice to construct a custom frame that secured a variety of manufactured components to form a central speaker cluster.
The new "Octasound" Central Speaker Cluster has greatly improved the available sound quality that was previously capable of being produced. The "Octasound" Central Speaker is an economical "compact" and aesthetically "attractive" design compared to previous "ugly" and "bulky" models.
Between 1985 and the present, KDM has concentrated their efforts to introduce a "family" of "Octasound" Central Speaker Clusters to meet market requirements. The original design was very large, weighed 285 lbs. and was over 36 cubic feet in volume.
At the present time, KDM offers three "Octasound" Central Speaker Clusters. For Indoor use the KDM SP810A, and for Indoor / Outdoor use the KDM SP820A, KDM SP840A plus the KDM SW818A Subwoofer Central Speaker System.
These "Octasound" Central Speaker models weigh between 44 and 75 lbs. and are only 0.75 to 4 cubic feet in volume ...
