Electronic Use in Vehicles

Using electronics while driving should be done safely and legally.  In today’s briefings, there was an interesting article issued by www.digitaltips.org which maps out laws state by state so you can reach your destination safely and easily.  GPS, On-Star, cellular phones, and others can help you in an emergency.  However, it’s important to use electronics safely while driving and follow the law.

In S.C. Code Ann. § 56-5-4440 (2007) the Law states: No television viewer, screen or other means of visually receiving a television broadcast can be located in the field of view of the operator of the vehicle.  Penalties are $100 or be imprisoned for not more than 30 days.  Learn about your home state and those neighboring states around you.

Good Sounding Bass

by Gerry Lemay, Director, Home Acoustics Alliance

One of the hardest things for me to describe in words alone is the sound of good bass. Oh yes, the terms deep, tight and fast always come up but that’s misses the mark for many non-audiophiles.  Let’s face it, for many folks bass is either loud and booming or minimized as much as possible.  But whether you are a bass lover or hater, both can enjoy the same calibrated bass settings thus leaving the debate to instead hinge on their choice of listening material and sound level.   (more…)
