  Dr. Barry Blesser is considered one of the grandfathers of the digital audio revolution.He invented and developed the first commercial digital reverberation system, the EMT-250 in 1976, helped start Lexicon in 1971, published the landmark paper, "Digital Processing of Audio Signals" in 1978, co-chaired the 1st International Conference on Digital Audio in 1980, and was an adviser to the US Justice Department on the Watergate Tapes in 1974.Dr. Blesser was President of the Audio Engineering Society in 1980.
  
  Dr. Blesser's first love for electronics began when he was 2 years old sitting in the kitchen observing the bright blue arc of a power transformer going south.From that point on he was fascinated with the "power" of electricity.As a teenager, he was considered a genius by his family because he could fix radios by replacing vacuum tubes by observing which ones had dead filaments.
  
  Dr. Blesser's career in audio was launched at the age of 20 with the fantasy of building a portable concert hall.Although he had no idea how to do that project or even if the project was doable, the passion continued to burn for the next half century.Never underestimate the compelling influence of a dream.

  After receiving his S.B, S.M and Ph.D. from MIT in Electrical Engineering in 1964, 1965, and 1969, Dr. Blesser served on the MIT faculty from 1969 to 1978 as an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.He taught courses on electronic, instrumentation, and audio technology while conducting research in the Cognitive Information Processing Laboratory.
  
  After leaving academia in 1978, he has been a technical and management consultant working with more than 50 companies worldwide.He often functions as a change agent using the principles of risk engineering to maximize productivity and profitability.In addition, he has been an expert witness on patents cases, a Director of Engineering, and Chief Technology Officer, and a founding officer of several startup companies.
  
  Most recently, MIT Press published his first book: Spaces Speak, Are You Listening?Experiencing Aural Architecture, which has provoked a latent interest in sound and acoustics worldwide.Additional biographical information about the author can be found here.Dr. Blesser, as a passionate advocate of the social consequences of corrosive acoustics, offers lectures and assistance to those who want to be proactive in improving the aural quality of life.

  1971 Lexicon/Gotham Delta T-101 Digital Delay - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 9/1/2006    Last Visited: 11/22/2007  

  A teaching assistant, Barry Blesser (who years later would design the EMT 250-the world's first practical digital reverb), suggested that they try running audio through the system.The experiment resulted in a 100ms audio delay line, which was state-of-the-art for that time.Once the late Steve Temmer of New York City's Gotham Audio heard about it, he commissioned 50 units to help overcome live sound propagation delays and as a pre-delay for plate reverbs.
  
  Thus, the Delta T-101 was born, with "Gotham Audio" on the front nameplate and "Lexicon" on the back.
