    Post Second Annual Lansing Heritage Awards

    For those who enjoyed last year's Greg Timbers Soiree, I hope you are ready for round two. For those of you who missed it, I hope you can make it this year. With Don McRitchie’s blessing, we’ll once again be presenting the Lansing Heritage Award.

    Greg Timbers agreed to be Honorary Chair for this year's event, and he and I have been working hard to create something special. The event will be on June 8 at my house in Greater Los Angeles.

    This year, we're focusing on JBL transducers, and we couldn't decide on just one recipient, so there are two:
    1. Jerry Moro, Senior Development Engineer, Acoustics, Harman International; former Senior Transducer Engineer, JBL Consumer
    2. Doug Button, former Vice President, Research and Development, JBL Professional
    So, if you want to meet the people who know all about the 1500AL or the 435Be or the 1400Nd or the 476Mg or the 2242H, then this is the place to be!

    Also, if you want to hear the hand-built Timbers Arrays, see the technical documentation, and discuss the build with Greg Timbers, this is where you can do all three.

    Oh, and there may be a surprise (or two)!

    Here's the info:

    THE LANSING HERITAGE APPRECIATION DINNER
    Honorees: Jerry Moro and Doug Button

    Hosts: Doug and Annie
    Honorary Chair: Greg Timbers
    Executive Chef: George Carlberg

    • Synthesis® One Array 7.1 "Two Jims" Theatre
    • K2 S9900 Stereo Pair
    • Timbers Arrays
    I’m opening up my PMs for inquiries on this event, so if you’re interested PM me. I have a limited number of seats, which I’ll fill on a first-come first-served basis. If you want to bring a guest, I’ll accept reservations for parties of two, but no larger. Last year we had some spouses attend, and all had a good time. Annie’s looking forward to seeing more ladies again this year.

    Once again, Executive Chef George Carlberg will be preparing the food, so that in itself is worth the price of admission. This will be a feast for all your senses, and a memorable night of JBL camaraderie.

    Hope to see you there!

    No, but they will probably adapt. I've noticed a change since the first one last year. It has gone from "kind of creepy" to "acceptable". The initial reaction was "not interested". I had to do some reassuring. People can change their perspective as new data becomes available. Heck, even I was a bit leery, but I figured if anyone could be a great host it would be Dome. Evidently I was correct.

    Well These guys basically carried Jim's legacy one. They did some amazing things. I know to some people this stuff is small potatos. But it is the little things that matter after all. Im sure they feel a little sad though, for the way things have changed.

    It would be pretty cool to meet some of them though. Im only 34 years old. Its sad to think that the best that America has to offer is wanning. I know there al exceptions to that. But they are exceptions.

    Sorry for getting a little off topic there.

    I think so too. And I think this is a great way to add a more personal aspect to it. It is more than simply doing a job and getting a paycheck. These guys have a group of people that sincerely appreciate their efforts on a personal level. It isn't merely a product/consumer relationship. There is an emotional investment as well.

    Then you better do it fast. It's about 1,546 miles to LA from Houston, and it takes less than 22 hours, including five pit stops. Plus you gain two hours on the clock, so leave Houston at 6 PM Friday and arrive in LA around Noon on Saturday with time for a nap. Shoot, 34 years old? Piece of cake.

    Thank you, Bo. Sorry you can't make it. It will be an amazing evening, and you'd really enjoy it.

    More to come.

    For the dawdlers, there are just a few openings left.

    Post Bio for Honoree Jerry Moro

    Thanks to Jerry Moro for providing the following information.

    Born in June 1962 in Chicago Illinois, Jerry was fascinated with electronics at an early age. Even before the age of ten he would disassemble electronic equipment to learn how it worked. As a teenager, Jerry continued exploring electronics as a hobby and in 1980 attended Purdue University’s Electrical Engineering program which just so happened to have several Acoustics courses. During his junior year, he was offered a summer internship at local audio company International Jensen in Schiller Park. This is where Jerry started to apply his newly learned acoustic knowledge, and after he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Jensen hired him to work full time in their OEM division as Transducer and Vehicle Audio Systems Engineer. For the next four years he developed custom transducers and complete audio systems tailored for different types of vehicles and companies, most notably Chrysler, AMC Jeep, and Alfa Romeo.

    In May of 1990, an opportunity arose for Jerry to take his audio passion to Harman International as a Transducer Development Engineer, so he packed up the family and moved to California. His beginning role was to create Harman’s first car audio measurement and installation bay and to develop new car audio transducers for Harman with primary focus being the JBL brand models GTX, Gto, Power Series and most notably the hi-end Gti series. After several years being focused on car audio advancements, Jerry expanded his role (now as Senior Development Engineer) to develop many transducers for home system brands: Infinity, JBL and Synthesis. In May of 1998, the newly created company REVEL was added to this list and to this day he has developed many transducers for the hi-end brand’s exclusive Performa and Ultima Series product lines.

    Around 1996, Jerry teamed up with system engineer Greg Timbers to develop low and high frequency transducers for numerous JBL systems: Century Gold, SVA Series, 4425 MKII, S5800, 4428 and 4429, 4312 Series, 4318 and 4319, 4338 and 4348, Array Series, S4600, TS Series, and S3900. Most notable are the S4700 and K2 series S9800, S9900, Everest DD66000, DD65000, and DD67000 where transducer performance has been advanced to new levels. Several of his transducer designs have also been used in JBL Professional monitor and subwoofer product models including LSR6325P (25P), LSR6332, LSR4326P, LSR4328P, VT4881 and most recently the high end M2 Master Reference Monitor (using the 2216Nd woofer).

    Throughout the years, Jerry always pushed the envelope for transducer design and this passion for the field led to several patents and many product awards. Recently promoted to Principal Development Engineer he is busy developing new transducer technology for future Harman products. A list of his more notable low, mid and high frequency transducers designs (with associated systems) is included below.
