Resources Needed to Implement EMC Systems
High Capacity Memory and Processing
- High capacity memory capacity for time and frequency algorithmic processing
- Auxiliary memory capacity for processing and lookup table storage
- Dedicated computing resources to handle communications between nodes
- Resources to coordinate all the system’s inputs
- Facilities with high throughput for interfaces or data acquisition such as massive recorders, oscilloscopes, or logic analyzers
- Cost-effective and easy-to-use documentation for both technical and maintenance purposes
Hardware Configuration Based on the Need to Attach to a Specific Component
While it is true that most hardware supporting EMC systems already has been operational in the community of digital designers’ workstations, this does not make access to such equipment any less important for integrating EMC in corporate strategy.
The downside of using such hardware here is that this technology is proprietary: Users have little or no input into how it is built.
Large Rooms (500-800 Square Feet)
- Optimal capacity: More than 20 people
- Two or more sections: An active sound reinforcement system
- A full-size stage with stage barriers
- Sufficient space between seating sections to prevent self-entertainment and distractions
- Proper placement of columns and speakers to prevent sound spillover
- Soundproofing to avoid noise leakage into neighboring rooms or shared spaces
- No conductors in the walls and ceilings to maintain sound integrity
A high-quality karaoke showroom comes with many responsibilities, including managing noise control and ensuring an optimal acoustic environment.
