Meet Scott Dorsey, one of our honorable judges of the Student Design Competition at AES139 in New York.
Mr. Dorsey has some degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology, during the pursuit of which he was forced to take employment in the broadcast and recording industries. After several years working at Master Sound doing everything from cutting 45s to mixing film soundtracks in realtime with interlocked dubbers, he took a job with a defense contractor, on contract to NASA Langley Research center, supporting data acquisition, telemetry, and special-purpose computing systems. This left him enough free time to continue doing live concert recording for acoustical music and to design and build audio devices for that purpose both for personal use and on contract to several audio manufacturers and importers.
A regular contributor to several audio magazines, he has been publishing equipment reviews and DIY projects in the audio press since the mid-eighties, and has achieved a small following from several of them. As far as he knows,
he is the only person to publish a review of the AES convention which includes reviews of actual paper presentations. This has made him great friends and enemies.
Mr. Dorsey is probably most known in the general audio community for retrofit electronics designs for inexpensive Oktava, AKG, and Feilo microphones. He is not really sure if he likes being associated with these products but figures any fame is better than nothing.
