Theme of the Month: Erich Kunzel

Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops Sound Effects


Many of the Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops releases contain sound effects that were generated using their own technology. The digital sound effects that appear on these albums are produced at high levels with infrasonic frequencies to 5Hz (in other words: if you play them too loudly, they'll not only destroy your speakers, but also shatter the fine china in your neighbor's dining room...).

The recording engineers at Telarc use Spacializer technology, which creates a 3-D atmosphere for systems with only two speakers. Multitudes of computers were combined to produce 20-bit surround effects. Michael Biship is Telarc's mastermind behind many of the effects. Some of the effects were shot on location outside the studio (mostly the western effects). Others were made on-location at NASA's Lewis Research Center in Mountain View, CA. It is Telarc's on-going mission to produce better sound effects, as well as better overall CD sound quality.

Here is a list of all sound effects that appear on Kunzel/Telarc Releases:
