Even though the official opening of the Derby’s new STEM Centre isn’t until next academic year, Adam and Bruce have managed to gain special access to the building so that our undergraduate and postgraduate students can use the new hemi-anechoic chamber for their research and practical work. So far, we’re loving the new facility and […]
Per Rasmussen, Technical Director at G.R.A.S., visited us last Thursday to give our staff and students a master class on measurement microphones. This was part of the G.R.A.S UK University Roadshow 2016. Per covered everything from the basics of how a condenser microphone operates, to going through the variables which shape the time and frequency […]
One of our current MSc Audio Engineering students, Ross Hammond, has been featured in this month’s issue of Lighting and Sound International. Ross graduated with a 1st class degree from our BSc (Hons) Sound, Light and Live Event Technology programme and is the recipient of the Don and Fran Pearson Award from the Audio Engineering Society, […]
If you’re familiar with what we do here in the Entertainment Engineering group at the University of Derby, you’ll know that we like to create useful bits of software and make them free for anyone to try out. Just this week saw the release of the Low-Frequency Acoustics Toolbox (LowFAT), which is an updated and […]
