Yamaha AvantGrand Piano - Part 2

Terry Knight — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:33:00 GMT
Amongst the AvantGrand's many innovations, the placement of the four-channel, three-way Spatial Acoustic Speaker System mimics the points where original grand piano samples were taken, while a Soundboard Resonator creates a non-directional sound dispersion directly in front of the player, duplicating the subtle reproduction of the buildup of sound felt by concert pianists. These technologies combine to authentically re-create the depth of tone of the Yamaha nine-foot CFIIIS grand piano, the choice instrument of many of the world's top musicians and performance venues.

FUTABA FED Displays

CurtisEllzey — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 14:00:00 GMT
Futaba’s FED is a vacuum type display device using Spindt-type emitters as the electron source. The operating principle of an FED is the same as a cathode ray tube (CRT). For an FED, electrons emitted from the electron source hit the color phosphor to then emit light. Having the same general features of a CRT, an FED is an emissive display with a wide viewing angle and temperature range. Furthermore, Futaba’s FED can be as thin as 4.2mm and produces the same display quality as a CRT with lower power consumption and requires less space. Also watch this episode: Futaba Custom VFD Displays. For more information, go to: Futaba.
