Acoustic Development 2b
We will be having a get together in downtown Hot Springs, Arkansas at the Arkansas School of Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts (ASMSA) located just off Route 7 (Central Street). It will be low key but we plan to have some presentations.
Dates
Things will start with a check-in on Friday afternoon, July 13th and continue until Sunday Noon, July 15th
Housing
We are offering a double room in a residence hall for $20 a night. This is basically camping with internal plumbing. The building is not fancy but each room will have its own bathroom and shower. ASMSA is right downtown so you can walk to restaurants and there are plenty of venues for entertainment including music for the evenings. If your taste are more refined than a dorm room, there are plenty of hotels and motels to choose from in the area. The school uses the Springs Hotel for its guests, a half block away.
Presentations
Dave Thomas has offered to do a presentation on Jeff Bagby’s free crossover software. We have classrooms with A/V equipment. If you want to be introduced to designing your own crossovers this would be an excellent opportunity. Dave has designed over a hundred crossovers and has some of his designs in commercial speakers. He is also very patient, I know because I have asked some dumb questions.
Bob Brines, of Brines Acoustics, has offered to do a presentation on quarter wave cabinets. Bob has produced several designs for his own full range speaker line. Bob builds beautiful cabinets and he will share some construction details on assembling. If you want to make your own cabinets these construction ideas would be good for any kind of cabinet and especially for quarter wave designs. Again we have classrooms and A/V so everyone should be able to get a front row view.
Socializing
We offer to have meals together for lunch and dinner. There are some nice restaurants in walking distance. The first night (Friday) we go to the Brau Haus for German food and beer. They have Spaten in several styles on tap and this seemed to be everybody’s favorite from two years ago. Rolando’s, a Cuban restaurant, has great food and a nice patio that borders on the National Park. Bohemia, my favorite, is continental cuisine of quality. I put out a schedule of when and where we are going so anyone who wants to join us can.
Significant Others and Family
Hot Springs is a great place for a number of activities. The National Park is literally right across the street. Lake Hamilton is on the far end of town offering fishing, swimming and boating. Mid-America Science Museum is great for kids. Bath House Row and a number of private spas are a nice way to get a massage and relax.

If you have questions or you want to tell us your attending and to hold a room please send me an email at [email protected]
The schools, the restaurants, the Springs Hotel all have web sites if you want to explore further. I will try and get at least one presentation for the get together. Two years ago we had about 12 people attend, so if you bring something to show you will get an opportunity to do so. Hope you decide to join us.
