The annual ALMA International Symposium & Expo (AISE) 2019, took place June 9–10 at the DoubleTree by Hilton at Universal Orlando, just prior to InfoComm 2019. Once again, it was the strongest event ever for anyone in the loudspeaker and electroacoustic development in general. This was the first event since the association decided to move away from Las Vegas and CES, and leverage the opportunities of working closer with the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association (AVIXA) and its annual trade show, InfoComm.

As announced during the latest ALMA International Symposium & Expo 2018 (AISE), the Association of Loudspeaker Manufacturing and Acoustics (ALMA) International is moving its annual event to InfoComm in 2019, scheduled for 9-10 June in Orlando, Florida. ALMA is now pleased to announce a key education track for the upcoming AISE2019 (ALMA International Symposium & Expo) focusing on speaker building. More education initiatives and the full program of conferences, panels and tutorials, will be confirmed soon.

Hernon Manufacturing, a manufacturer of high-performance adhesives, sealants and the associated dispensing and curing equipment—has announced the release of a new product. The Autobonder 2512 replaces the 2511, a previous version of turntable dispenser, and now offers independently operating turntables and streamlined controls via a touchscreen Human Machine Interface (HMI).

Another monthly edition of Voice Coil is now available featuring the traditional directory of Loudspeaker Cone Industry Suppliers 2017. In this issue, Vance Dickason tests two drivers from SB Acoustics’ Satori Line, including the much anticipated TW29BN beryllium dome tweeter.

Strahm (1956-2016), founder and president of LinearX.
