Jeff Smith, owner of Audio Designs of Atlanta in Stockbridge, Georgia, had his shop broken into last night and thieves literally took almost everything; tools, the shop truck, equipment and anything they could get their hands on. Jeff is now with police and they are investigating, but we want to help in any way we can.

As a former retailer, I know what Jeff is going through, I've been there myself. Let's support him in any way we can; for those in the Atlanta area, keep an eye out for any high end equipment that may become available through less than reputable channels. It may be a lead to the culprits who did this. For those who know Jeff and his shop, he is a high end store with a powerful reputation for building some of the best high end systems in show vehicles, as well as for competition in IASCA and other organizations.

Equipment that was taken includes high end product from Zapco, Audison, Hertz, Dynaudio, Alpine and Kenwood. As we get more information on other items that were stolen, we'll post them in this blog.

So let's rally together to support Jeff in any way we can; if you have info, contact Jeff via email at info@audiodesignsofatlanta.com.

Jeff, our thoughts and prayers are with you, if there's anything else we can do to help, don't hesitate to call. 

IASCA MEMO

To: All IASCA Judges, Competitors, Sanctioned Event Coordinators and Promoters

From: IASCA Worldwide Inc.

Subject: Hearing Protection Protocol.

Date: April 3, 2008

Since its inception, IASCA has promoted the “Practice Safe Sound” message. We feel it is absolutely essential to warn our constituency to the dangers of extreme SPL and the permanent hearing damage that could result in listening to such extreme SPL without protection. IASCA IdBL Rules, page IdBL-4, bullet point 1, identifies our corporate position regarding the use of hearing protection. When competing in any SPL format while sitting inside the vehicle, competitors MUST WEAR HEARING PROTECTION shielding their ears from sound pressure levels generated during competition. Systems capable of exceeding 150dB must be operated by external controls from outside of the vehicle.

Also the competitor’s signature on the score sheet is a requirement, indicating their understanding and acceptance of IASCA’s limitation of liability against personal injury. It has become evident that this policy is not being strictly applied and enforced by Judges and IASCA authorized promoters.

Our exposure last weekend to a YouTube video taken at an IASCA sanctioned event has left us astonished. It revealed a competitor sitting inside his vehicle during SPL competition, his windscreen shattered due to an SPL level in excess of 150 dB, all the while WITHOUT WEARING HEARING PROTECTION. There is absolutely no excuse for this negligence. We have received a number of emails from concerned parties from as far away as Australia condemning this practice with the assumption that IASCA condones these actions. Nothing could be further from the truth; imagine our dismay. This video has prompted action by this association to re issue our mandates and circumvent any further violation of IASCA policy.

ACTION

Effective immediately, the provisions of IASCA IdBL rules citing the use of proper hearing protection during IASCA competitions will be duly enforced with terms of accountability by the competitor, event coordinator and judges. The use of hearing protection while sitting inside a vehicle during an SPL competition is mandatory regardless of the SPL level generated. Vehicles capable of generating anywhere in the vicinity of 150 dB, must be operated from outside the vehicle with all recommended safety measures in place protecting themselves and those around the vehicle. All IASCA event coordinators and Judges will be asked to sign an agreement to provide for the implementation of these protocol mandates.

NON COMPLIANCE CONSEQUENCE

Regardless of seniority, tenure or status, IASCA Judges who do not enforce IASCA hearing protection protocol while judging a competition will place their official IASCA judge’s status in suspension and must attend a Judges training seminar to be recertified and reinstated.

Authorized IASCA event coordinators who do not enforce the IASCA hearing protection protocol at their events will lose all present sanctioning privileges and fees without recourse or remuneration. A reapplication process will be considered after 90 days suspension.

Competitors who do not follow IASCA hearing protection protocol will be automatically disqualified from the competition and sustain a complete loss of all accrued CAP points without recourse.

While these actions may seem absolute, the health and welfare of our constituency is at stake.

Thank you,

IASCA Worldwide Inc.

We ask everyone to keep Jereme's Dad in their thoughts and prayers; while Jereme was judging at the Spring Break Nationals, his father Joe suffered a severe heart attack and was taken to hospital and placed in ICU. He underwent open heart surgery on Monday and is expected to recover from his ordeal.

Although we recommended that he go back home and be with his parents, his mother told him to stay and fulfill the commitment he had made to judge at SBN. Jereme was naturally worried about his father's condition, so he kept in very close contact over the course of the show to be was aware of his status.

Jereme, thank you for staying and judging at the show under what must have surely been a heartwrenching time for you and thank you to Jereme's parents for raising a fine man of solid principles and ethics; you should be very proud.

Joe, all of us at IASCA have you in our thoughts and prayers and we wish you a full and speedy recovery; take care and get well soon!

It is with sadness that IASCA Worldwide Inc. and IASCA South Africa announce the loss of a great competitor and friend, Mr. Reggie Naidu of Johannesburg, SA. Reggie passed away on February 29th in a freak accident near his home.

Reggie was a fierce IdBL competitor who broke 2005 IdBL World Records in the Advanced 3 and Ultimate 1 Classes, using products from Calibra, a South African based car audio manufacturer. He was the leader of Team Calibra and led many of his team's competitors to victory in the IdBL lanes in South Africa. Reggie was best known for his ability to take the tiny yet rugged Austin Minis (older models) and make them really loud; he was always in constant contact with IASCA SA and IASCA Worldwide getting rulings on the vehicles he was building for competition. He followed the rules and built world class SPL vehicles.

 Reggie will be missed by all who had the privilege to know him.

Welcome to IASCA, THE NEXT GENERATION!!!

Independiente del hecho que cada uno de los países afiliados adopten todos o algunos de los formatos de IASCA y por si mismo tengan diferentes reglamentos para cada uno de sus eventos. IASCA emite y revisa anualmente “las reglas” de evaluación de cada uno de ellos los cuales DEBEN ser los aplicados por cada uno de los asociados durante los eventos sancionados por IASCA.

Es así como ya se ha emitido el nuevo libro de REGLAS aplicable para 2008, disponible en ingles en la página www.iasca.com y que incluye entre otros los siguientes cambios y modificaciones así como la creación de nuevas categorías y formatos para la temporada de 2008

El formato MACS es del todo un Nuevo formato que parte de lo básico incorporando audio, video instalación y tema de personalización del vehículo dentro del juzgamiento. Su objetivo es atraer nuevos participantes a los eventos de IASCA e incorporando las aplicaciones de audio y video dentro del formato. Sera puntuada sobre una base de 100 puntos máximos, dividido en cinco secciones de de 20 puntos cada una así: Audio, video, instalación, Tema de personalización y puntaje global en concepto del juez. Las categorías en este formato serán definidas a criterio del promotor del evento por lo tanto pueden ser tan amplias como su creatividad lo limite. Ejemplo d categorías pueden ser: “Mejor sonido”, “Mejor instalación”, “Puntaje total”, “mejor vehículo de marca X”, etc.

·         FORMATOS/CATEGORIAS – Este es el mayor “cambio” con respecto a la competencia tradicional.

La competencia/FORMATO tradicional de Calidad de Sonido SQ será ahora denominada “SQi”. Las diferentes divisiones y categorías (tal y como las conocíamos) desaparecen y serán remplazadas con 5 únicas Divisiones, 4 de las cuales serán disponibles en todos los eventos a nivel mundial.

La quinta División solo se abrirá en eventos especiales como finales mundiales: Manufacturer.

·         Rookie tendrá una nueva y simplificada tabla de juzgamiento tanto en sonido como en instalación. En cuanto a sonido se han removido los siguientes criterios: Balance Espectral, Profundidad y Ambiente del escenario, Izquierda-centro y Derecha-centro de Imagen, la totalidad de evaluación de Linealidad, Ruidos mecánicos externos y juzgamiento de bonos por ergonomía igualmente.

·         Amateur y Pro continuaran utilizando el esquema de juzgamiento tradicional de sonido pero el juzgamiento de instalación utilizaran el formato conocido anteriormente como STREET incluyendo la sección de “Actualizaciones / mejoras al sistema” dentro del juzgamiento de instalación. Amateur y Pro serán juzgados desde “una sola silla”.

·         La División Ultimate continuara utilizando el formato tradicional de calificación  tanto para sonido como para instalación, adicionando la sección “Actualizaciones / Mejoras al sistema“ La División Ultimate se juzgara desde “dos sillas”.

·         La División de Fabricantes: Manufacturer será abierta únicamente en eventos de triple puntaje o Finales. Los Fabricantes obtendrán puntos CAP al asistir y exhibir sus vehículos en cualquier evento (incluso sin competir en ellos) permitiéndoles así calificar para eventos Finales. La División de Fabricantes será juzgada en las mismas condiciones que la División Ultimate.

Reglas de Evaluación de Sonido

·         Para cualquier división: Los criterios de evaluación de sonido serán los tradicionales y ya conocidos.

·         Rookie, Amateur y Pro serán evaluados desde una sola silla; siendo mandatorio el realizarlos desde la silla que utilice el conductor, independiente de la posición que esta venga de fábrica.

·         Ultimate y MFR serán juzgadas desde dos sillas con un solo juez. Durante el juzgamiento desde dos sillas un solo juez será utilizada para la totalidad del juzgamiento, de tal forma que primero se evalúa desde la silla del conductor y luego cambia de posición y completa UNICAMENTE la evaluación correspondiente a Escenario e Imagen y los respectivos mapas desde la silla del pasajero y completa la calificación correspondiente. Sin embargo, se deja a criterio del organizador el seguir utilizando dos jueces diferentes, siempre y cuando ellos siempre evalúen los vehículos conservando su posición en el vehículo (el juez que decida juzgar desde la silla de conductor debe hacerlo así para todos los vehículos de la División) y no está permitido el intercambio de lugares en el mismo vehículo.

·         Ruidos Mecánicos Externos: la descripción y definición de este tipo de ruido queda así: “… Cualquier ruido mecánico generado por cualquier pieza o parte del sistema de audio NO recibirá ninguna deducción de puntos”. Esta definición ha cambiado para eliminar la posibilidad que los jueces deduzcan puntuación por relevos internos en los amplificadores, o mecanismos y motores en reproductores de CD, Etc...

·         Unidad de Fuente: En el caso de tener múltiples Fuentes de reproducción dentro del vehículo el competidor debe indicar al juez de Sonido cuál de ellas será utilizada para insertar y reproducir el CD durante el juzgamiento. Una vez establecido, el juez de sonido hará la anotación correspondiente en la hoja de calificaciones la cual será considerada así igualmente durante el juzgamiento de instalación. Cualquier otra fuente de reproducción será considerada como “otros dispositivos” durante la evolución de instalación.

·         El uso de las pistas del CD ha cambiado nuevamente a su estado inicial, el cual se detalla en la hoja de calificaciones.

• “Mejoras al sistema” ha sido redefinido dándole carácter de “realces o actualizaciones” que se le hagan al mismo. La descripción de “mejoras al sistema” queda entonces: “Los jueces calificaran aspectos en la instalación que sean actualizaciones o modificaciones ya sea al sistema original del vehículo o cualquier dispositivo o montaje de Car audio / multimedia que se haya instalado”. La forma de calificar las mejoras al sistema será similar a como se hacía anteriormente con CREATIVIDAD, basado en la dificultad de ejecución y de finalización de cada uno de los aspectos, el grado de dificultad, el acabado general y el que tanto contribuye  al desempeño sónico, cosmética, funcionalidad o durabilidad del sistema. Sin embargo Documentación escrita o en fotos  será requerida “para cada aspecto”; cada mejora puede obtener hasta un máximo de 5 puntos. Los equipos, así como las técnicas y materiales utilizadas para obtener los puntos de mejora deben detallarse así como las técnicas de instalación/integración dentro del vehículo y pueden ser por sí mismas consideradas como aspectos de mejora pero estas deben ser definidas como tal por el competidor para que el juez de acuerdo a su criterio establezca si serán puntuadas o no como tal; las actualizaciones o mejoras no hablan únicamente de aspectos innovadores, únicos u originales, también serán consideradas aquellas técnicas o ideas tradicionales tales como : aislamientos acústicos, construcción de piezas y montajes. Los competidores DEBEN presentar el listado a  los jueces para su consideración, de no hacerlo se obtendrá una calificación de cero puntos pero el presentarlo no implica la inclusión de todos los ítem propuestos. La presentación de esta listado se hará posterior al tiempo de presentación de rutina del vehículo no antes ni después.

·         La hoja de calificaciones en la sección de instalación se dividirá en tres columnas incluyendo así las nuevas Divisiones en la parte superior de cada una de ellas. Rookie en una sola columna, Amateur y pro compartirán columna, así como Ultimate y Fabricantes MFR compartirán la última.

·         Los competidores de Rookie no serán juzgados en los siguientes aspectos durante el 2008:

“Membrecía IASCA” (seguirá verificándose el logo de IASCA visible)

“Seguro de operar al conducir”

“Equipo de seguridad no comprometido”.

“Ergonomía del sistema”

“Manufactura” en todas las secciones

“Motor / Interior / Baúl / Conocimiento del sistema / Álbum de fotos / Sistema de seguridad”

“Mejoras al sistema / Actualizaciones”

·         Acceso a fusibles se ha ampliado de 30 segundos a 45 segundos.

·         Cables asegurados ha sido modificado de uso de fijación cada 20 centímetros a cada 25 centímetros máximo.

·         “Manufactura” en todas las Divisiones (excepto Rookie) ha sido incrementado a 10 puntos.

·         Fusible en los Capacitores ha sido eliminado de la evaluación de instalación en todas las Divisiones. 

·         Sistema de seguridad (Alarma) ha sido modificado:

·         La evaluación en todas las Divisiones será realizada por un solo juez.

SQC es una competencia de Sonido únicamente. Existen dos Categorías: una silla y dos sillas; tal y como sugieren los mismo nombres una sola silla será para Divisiones Rookie, Amateur y Pro por lo que no podrán competir en esta Ultimate & Fabricantes. Sin embargo la categoría de dos sillas es abierta y pueden competir todos  sin ninguna distinción. Se utilizara la misma hoja de calificaciones de Calidad de Sonido en la columna de “otras”.

• ISQC (International Sound Quality Challenge)

Así como SQC pero solo hay una categoría de dos sillas. Es abierta a todos los competidores. ISQC es juzgada por equipos de jueces internacionales; una vez que todos ellos han juzgado los vehículos, los puntajes son totalizados y promediados así que el más alto promedio será el ganador del evento.

Rookie - 1 juez de sonido, 1 Juez de Instalación

Amateur - 1 juez de sonido, 1 Juez de Instalación

Pro - 1 juez de sonido, 1 Juez de Instalación

Ultimate - 1 juez de sonido*, 2 sillas, 1 Juez de Instalación

Fabricante / MFR Manufacturer - 1 juez de sonido*, 2 sillas, 1 Juez de Instalación

3 Categorías - Rookie, Amateur, Pro

SQC – Juzgamiento de Sonido Únicamente

2 Categorías, evaluación de 1 silla y desde 2 sillas

1 silla para competidores Rookie, Amateur & Pro, 2 sillas es abierta

1 Categoría, 2 sillas, Abierta a todos los competidores

***NUEVO FORMATO *** – DESAFIO DE RTA/SPL.

La prueba de RTO ha sido eliminada del formato de Calidad de Sonido y por lo tanto se ha diseñado un nuevo formato que incluya esta sección pero en un formato completamente separado, es así como el desafío se convierte en una competencia nueva y NO será requerimiento dentro de la evaluación de SQi o cualquiera de sus variaciones

Los cambios en este formato son mínimos y son relativos básicamente a la cantidad de Categorías en cada una de las Divisiones, es así como se han reducido de 16 a 13 y se han extendido a cambios en las áreas de cono para cada una de ellas ya que han sido revisados de acuerdo a la misma reducción.

La División Rookie permanece igual en 3 categorías (1-160, 161 a 260, 261+), pero Stock, Stock Pro, Advanced y Ultimate se ha reducido a solo 2 en cada una de ellas. Stock y Stock Pro ahora se dividen en 1 a 260 pulgadas cuadradas (Stock/Stock Pro 1) y 261+ pulgadas cuadradas (Stock/Stock Pro 2). Advanced y Ultimate también serán de dos divisiones únicamente; 1 a 520 pulgadas cuadradas (Advanced/Ultimate 1) y 521+ pulgadas cuadradas (Advanced/Ultimate 2). Advanced No Wall ahora se va a dividir en dos categorías igualmente; Advanced No Wall 1 (1 a 260) y Advanced No Wall 2 (261+).

Los otros formatos IASCA (Bass Boxing, Tuner Jam, Nightglow) permanecen igual que en 2007 según su ámbito de aplicación a nivel mundial.

The following describes the changes made and updates in IASCA formats, classes and rules for the 2008 IASCA season:

MACS is an all new competition format which is very basic, incorporating audio, video, installation and theme into the judging. Its goal is to attract car show participants to IASCA events, judging audio and video in a car show style judging format. MACS scoring is based on a 100 point scale, broken down into five 20 point sections for Audio, Video, Install, Theme and Judge’s Overall Rating. Classes in MACS are at the event promoter’s discretion and they may set up as many different Classes as they choose to.

·         FORMATS/CLASSES – This is the biggest “change” in our traditional SQ competition.

Traditional IASCA SQ judging will now be called “SQi”. The traditional “Divisions and Classes”

in this format (as we know them) have been removed and have been replaced with 5 distinct

“Classes”, 4 of which will be available at all levels of events.

The new Classes are Rookie, Amateur, Pro, Ultimate and Manufacturer.

·         Rookie will have a new simplified scoring scale both in sound and install. In sound judging, the following judging criteria have been removed; Spectral Balance from Tonal Accuracy, Depth and Ambience from Sound Stage judging, Left of Center and Right of Center from Imaging judging, Sound Linearity is removed altogether, External Mechanical Noise is removed from Absence of Noise judging and Ergonomics judging in Rookie is removed altogether.

·         Amateur and Pro classes will continue to use the traditional sound and install judging scoring

that have been used in the former Street Format, with the addition of an “Upgrades” section in Install judging. Amateur and Pro Classes will be judged “single seat”.

·         Ultimate class will continue to use the traditional sound and install judging scoring we have

been using in the old Ultimate Format, with the addition of an “Upgrades” section in Install judging. Ultimate Class will be judged “two seat”.

·         Manufacturer class will be for manufacturer built vehicles and will only be offered at major

events, unless a smaller event chooses to offer the Class. Manufacturers will gain CAP points

for attending and displaying vehicles at any event (not competing) allowing them to qualify

for Finals events. Manufacturer Class will be judged the same as the Ultimate Class.

·         For all other classes: All Classes will follow the traditional Sound judging criteria already

established.

·         Rookie, Amateur and Pro Classes are single seat judging only; these Classes are judged from

the front driver’s seat of the vehicle.

·         Ultimate and MFR Classes are judged two seat with one judge. In two seat judging, the rules

will state that one judge will be used and the judge will judge the vehicle from both

positions, however event organizers may elect to use two judges, one in each position if

they so choose.

·         External Mechanical Noise: The description of External Mechanical Noise now reads “Any

mechanical noise generated by any piece of audio equipment will NOT receive any points

deductions.” The phrasing was changed to eliminate the possibility of judges deducting points for internal relays in amplifiers, or CD mechanisms in players, etc.

·         Source Unit: In the case of multiple source units in a vehicle, the competitor will indicate

to the sound judge which source unit will be used for judging. Once established, the sound

judge will mark down on the score sheet which source unit was used and the installation

judge will judge that unit as the main source unit in Installation judging. All other source units

within the vehicle (if there are any) will be judged as “Other Devices” in Installation judging.

·         Use of CD tracks in Sound judging has been changed back to former status.

• “System Enhancements” has been removed from Install judging and replaced with “Upgrades” judging. The description of “Upgrades” is as follows; “Judges will score items in the installation that are upgrades or modifications to either the OEM or aftermarket car audio/multimedia equipment/system in a vehicle.”  Scoring for Upgrades will be similar to the older “Creativity” judging, based on the difficulty of accomplishing/executing the item, the degree of difficulty, the overall fit and finish of the item and how the item contributes to the overall sonic, cosmetic, serviceability or longevity performance of the system. Written and photo documentation will be required “per item”; each upgrade item is worth up to 5 points. Equipment, as well as the techniques used to upgrade the equipment and the process of installation/integration into the vehicle and system can be considered for upgrade points; the upgrades do not have to be “innovative” or “unique” in nature to be considered, they can be traditional items such as installing sound dampening in the vehicle panels, or building kick panels. Competitors must present the list of upgrades to the Install Judge for consideration.

·         The Installation score sheet will be broken down into three columns, with the new Classes

listed at the top of the page. Rookie will have its own column, Amateur and Pro will share a

column and Ultimate and MFR will share a column.

·         Rookie competitors will not be judged on the following items for 2008;

“IASCA membership” (still judged for logo)

“Safe to Operate While Driving”

“Safety Equipment Not Compromised”.

“Ergonomic System Points”

“Craftsmanship” in all sections

“Engine / Interior / Trunk / System Knowledge / Photo book / Security system”

“Upgrades”

·         Fuse accessibility has extended from 30 seconds to 45 seconds.

·         Wires Secured rule has been updated from being secured every 6 inches to every 8 inches max.

·         “Craftsmanship” scoring in all classes (except Rookie) has been increased to 10 points from 5.

·         “Ergonomic system points” has been added to Amateur and Pro Installation Judging.

·         Fusing of capacitors has been removed from installation judging in all Classes. 

·         Security System judging has been revised.

0 or 1 point for Keyless Entry OR

0 or 2 points for OEM or Aftermarket Alarm fitted.

0 to 3 points for Additional features operated from same remote control.

·         Presentation scoring will be reduced from 10 points to 5 points.

·         There will be a “1 to 5” point scale added into the Presentation scoring section for the competitor’s Photo Log Book.

·         Installation judging in all Classes will be performed by one judge.

SQC is a sound quality only competition. There are two classes, single seat and two seat; as the Class names suggest, they will be judged 1 seat and 2 seat. Single seat is open to all Rookie, Amateur and Pro competitors only; Ultimate and Manufacturer competitors are not allowed to compete in this Class. Two seat judging is open to all Classes. These classes will be judged using the sound judging section of the score sheet for Amateur, Pro, Ultimate and MFR competitors.

• ISQC (International Sound Quality Challenge)

Like SQC with only one class, 2 seat judging only. It is open to all Competitors in all Classes. Unlike SQC, ISQC is judged by teams of International Judges; once all teams have judged the vehicles, the scores are averaged and the highest average score determines the winner.

IQC is a contest of Installation quality only. There are three Classes; Rookie, Amateur and Pro. Judging is performed the same as in SQi competition.

Rookie - 1 sound judge, 1 install judge

Amateur - 1 sound judge, 1 install judge

Pro - 1 sound judge, 1 install judge

Ultimate - 1 sound judge, 2 seats, 1 install judge

Manufacturer - 1 sound judge, 2 seats, 1 install judge

3 Classes - Rookie, Amateur, Pro

SQC - Sound Judging Only

2 Classes, 1 seat and two seat judging

1 seat for Rookie, Amateur & Pro competitors only, 2 seat is open to all Classes

1 Class, 2 seat judging, Open to all Classes

New Format – RTA/SPL Challenge.

RTO has been removed from SQ competition and RTA/SPL Challenge is its replacement as a completely separate format. RTA/SPL Challenge is not a requirement in SQi judging.

This is the first year that a major car audio organisation has been invited to
CAR Expo and hold an event, IASCA are delighted to announce that we will be
hosting Round 1 of the 2008 Sound Off scene at this event.

The event will be held in an indoor arena with plenty of room for vehicles
