Derrer of EMT is a professional down to the bone. He formerly
belonged to Studer for practically endless years. He had travelled
all the way from Switzerland to attend the Duesseldorf meet. Kudos
to this. In the picture on the left you seem him demonstrate the
Phoenix surround monitoring system to Richter Di.
 What
I found absolutely remarkable was the quality and resolution of
the Phoenix surround monitoring system. However, it seemed to
be quite hard to understand for some of the attendees that the
Phoenix system is a tool not a toy. Sales price of this Pro audio
targeted system is 15.000,- EUR, tax _not_ included. You can't
compare any game console's head tracking to the professional version
that comes with this kind of system. The common field sensor alone
costs around 2.000,- EUR for the manufacturer.
The price is of course definitely not the only indicator for professional
equipment. I remember times when very cheap cassette decks by
a far east manufacturer costed around 60,- EUR (This was still
in the times of the German Mark "DM"). This cassette
deck boasted with measurement figures not too far away from a
Telefunken M15 which at that time costed around 10.000,- EUR or
so. Well, there is a saying that goes "Tell me the desired
measurement result and let me choose the method myself."
So there was a tremendous difference between those two
devices...
 The
system on display consisted of a DVD-Player with surround outputs,
the monitoring computer and a beamer.
Connected to the Phoenix system was the only Stax headphone on
the meet.
Another attendee who had planned to bring some Stax headphones
with him had to cancel his appearance due to an urgent appointment
in his job.
Sometimes you have to priorise your behaviour connected to the
place where you earn your money rather than to the one where to
spend it.
