Sound recordings have existed since the last quarter of the 19th century, and libraries have collected them since the early 20th century. Where recordings—both audio and video—differ most notably from books is that they all need some kind of playback device: some intermediary piece or pieces of equipment between the user and the object. The world of audio and video gear is frequently foreign to many librarians, and what libraries need in terms of equipment is often different from the needs of both the individual audiophile and the professional sound archivist. Moreover, today's changing audio landscape—including audio/video streaming via the internet and the emergence of the iPod culture—have called into question the need for valuable library space to be occupied by listening/viewing carrels. Audio and Video Equipment Basics for Libraries presents all the information librarians need to know to make intelligent decisions about providing listening and viewing facilities in libraries. Everything from what to look for when buying new equipment, to how it works, to what to think about when designing a new listening facility or retrofitting an existing space is considered. Minimize

The small A5 managed to make itself a big name in both professional environments as well as in computer or desktop applications. A wealth of truly outstanding reviews and many awards helped to establish this speaker as one 'of the best small monitors' and a 'great choice for the small studio.'

Like all other models of the AX-Series it features the proprietary X-ART tweeter. The very data of this technology shows that it is at the forefront of what tweeters can accomplish. Numerous listening tests have confirmed this. Minimize

Even before the first note is played, the apocrypha proclaiming this to be a non-professional recording -- which finds Naima Coltrane (aka Mrs. John Coltrane) as "audio engineer" -- is fortunately true. The raw nature of the contents accurately reveal the reality of experiencing a Five Spot gig during the venerable venue's halcyon days. What can also be found beyond the sporadic chatter and general hubbub of a New York City Harlem nightclub is arguably the strongest aural evidence of the unique working rapport these two jazz icons shared. While the relationship between Monk and Coltrane is at the crux of these performances, Ahmed Abdul-Malik (bass) and the irrepressible Roy Haynes (drums) also contribute mightily by allowing enough context to support the soloist while pulling out occasional solos of their own. Haynes' interjections to "In Walked Bud" and "I Mean You" go beyond the simple progression of rhythm. While the perspective of this recording is somewhat unfavorable to Coltrane, there is no mistaking the intense activity of his tenor sax. His solo during "I Mean You" is particularly potent, as he somehow finds room to incorporate a well-placed line or two from a popular show tune (no surprises spoiled here for potential enthusiasts eager for a good sonic hide and seek). The rendition of "Crepuscule with Nellie" -- which is joined in progress, although only by a few bars -- best personifies both the character of this audience recording as well as the ability for the music's sublime nature to filter those distractions away. This combo's residency at the Five Spot during the summer of 1958 coincides with other notable live sets cut during this time -- Thelonious in Action and its counterpart, Misterioso. These two are professionally documented releases that capture much of the same verve, although they sadly lack Coltrane. Early CD pressings of Live at the Five Spot ran a semitone too fast. When the set was remastered for inclusion in the four-disc Complete Blue Note Recordings, this was fixed and the corrected version issued on that box set. To that end, 1993's Complete Live at the Five Spot 1958 also contains the "fixed" audio. ~ Lindsay Planer, Rovi Minimize
