Hadi Sumoro
Hadi is the principal consultant of HX Audio Lab. He has provided design and consultation for professional audio industry since 2007. As an acoustical consultant, he has been responsible for various acoustical projects all over the world. He earned a degree in Audio Sciences (Acoustical Study) at Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University under the guidance of Neil Shade.
Upon graduation, Hadi worked in Community Professional Loudspeakers as Technical Application Engineer and Senior Measurement Technician for almost eight years. He provided over 500 sound system design proposals (utilizing EASE) for various venues such as arenas, house of worships, restaurants, paging system, etc. In 2011, he helped Community to setup and run a newly designed indoor measurement lab, including writing post processing program/procedures of creating correction filters and data format conversion. He was in charge of Community's loudspeaker measurement database (CLF, SPK and GLL) and voicing library. In loudspeaker R&D, Hadi helped to develop filters (IIR and FIR) to optimize directivity, minimize horn resonances and improve sound reproduction quality for multi-way loudspeaker systems. He was also involved in engineering work such as optimizing box volume, port tuning, EN54 certification, etc.
As an audio engineer and musician, Hadi has a strong interest in studio monitor design. In 2018, he introduced his first commercial two way biamp studio monitor, called type F22A. Type F22A loudspeaker utilizes hybrid IIR and FIR filters processing for each transducer, creating an absolute transparent and high fidelity studio monitor. Previously, Hadi also developed another high end monitor called type E33A and several other high end monitor prototypes. His other works in loudspeaker design also includes research and development in line array, scale model, horn design, horn loaded multi way system, etc. In the world of loudspeaker measurement and design, Hadi utilizes many tools such as Bassbox Pro, Systune, EASERA, Filter Hose, ARTA, TEF, LEAP and many other in-house post processing programs.
Hadi published two books in Indonesian language about introduction of acoustics as a technical field (2008) and loudspeaker measurements (2012). His online articles can be found in prosoundweb.com, prosoundtraining.com and also under the publications tab in this website. Hadi also teaches audio production courses at Temple University, Philadelphia PA and various seminars/private trainings held locally or internationally.
Lastly, Hadi is a Jazz musician, plays Piano and Hammond Organ. His styles include Jazz, Blues, Funk, Pop/Rock and also Jazz-Fusion. He is the keyboard player for New Pony Funk band (Funk, Soul and New Orleans).
