[Sursound] Passive small speaker advice
Hello Sursounders (and Happy New Year!) For many years, we've been running our Sounds in Space research symposium using lots of old passive minipod speakers (as Peter Lennox had lots of these at the time of our first symposium, an we've been using them ever since https://www.podspeakers.com/) However, it's come to the time where we really need to invest in a replacement for these, essentially hifi, speakers! We have a large number of flying mole amplifiers (100W into 8ohm - like these https://www.flyingmole.co.jp/new_en/products/new_product/dadm100pro2/ ) and are looking for advice on small speakers we could use to replace the minipods with. We'll be wanting around 30 of them, and need to fly them on truss for a 3D rig and sounds level wise, the minipods have actually been ok but are a little under-spec'ed (having lots of subs on the floor helps!) Anyone got any good suggestions/experiences they'd be happy to share?

Re: [Sursound] Passive small speaker advice
Hi Bruce PMC TB2S+ or smaller db1 are a good match for the flying mole amps. They do studio and hi versions not the flattest but time based response is really good.

[Sursound] a general reference for ambisonics encode, decode theory?
Hippy New Ears to Y’all! I’m putting the finishing touches to my new book for Springer “Sonification design: From data to intelligible soundfields” I want to include a general reference for ambisonic rendering (encode + decode) theory, which I execute in Csound. It doesn’t need any of the microphone stuff. Any recommendations?
