Michael Jarzabkowski and Associates |
Staff and AssociatesAll of our staff and associates are very competent technical design engineers, but they also have active experience in facilities operation and know the real requirements of end users whether they be studio engineers, television station technical staff, orchestra conductors, musicians, or live-sound systems operators. They are still active (when time permits) as technical directors for concerts, music directors for shows, and producers for music recording projects.They have all been engaged in training operators in equipment use and in teaching acoustics and audio system design principles. We have presented lectures and given seminars in acoustics and audio system design to groups of over 40 people . These seminars have been presented in the USA, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
Michael JarzabkowskiSenior Consultant / Managing DirectorMichael Jarzabkowski studied Geophysics at the University of Queensland, Australia before working in siesmic data analysis for Carpentaria Exploration Company (CEC) which is a subsidiary of Mount Isa Mines, Australia. As a supplement to his theoretical knowledge, it was here that he developed practical skills in waveform and ray acoustics. Since leaving CEC in 1985 he has been involved in architectural acoustics specializing in recording studio and auditorium design, noise and vibration control, design of radio and television stations, audio system design, and many other aspects of architectural acoustics and noise control. In January 1990 he founded Sound Scene Acoustics Pty. Ltd. to undertake international projects. Michael has developed computer software for acoustic design in computation of Standing Wave (modal) analysis, Early Reflection and Critical Distance analysis, Reverberation Time computation using classical Sabine and Fitzroy-Eyring formulae, and computer programs for Sound Isolation and Noise Control. Michael was a regular guest lecturer at the Ocean Institute of Audio Technology in Kuala Lumpur (1991-1994) and was responsible for outlining their course in acoustics. He was more recently the Teaching Assistant at Yale University for their graduate course in Architectural Acoustics (2001). He has written papers and articles by request for the international broadcast magazine, Online which serves the Asia Pacific communications industry. Published articles include studio and control room design (a 2-part series), and audio equipment selection for music recording studios. He has also had a number of articles on church acoustics published in various magazines in the USA. Michael recently (May, 2002) completed a Masters Degree at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
James Yee Kwok SengEngineer / DirectorJames Yee is one of the Malaysian directors of Sound Scene Acoustics. He has more than 18 years experience in the audio / acoustics field having worked as a sound system designer, recording engineer, studio designer, audio technical producer, and audio recording facilities manager. Prior to joining Sound Scene Acoustics in 1991, James had been responsible for training sound system operators and studio recording engineers in technical maintenance, installations, and audio system design. Apart from audio and acoustic technical abilities, James Yee has also been the music director for large concert performances with audience attendance of up to 30,000 people per night in venues such as Stadium Merdeka and Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur. |
