Reference excerpt

Klotz Digital AG was a manufacturer of audio media products based in Munich, Germany; it was founded in 1990 and acquired by United Screens Media AG in 2009. The company was active in the two business segments Public Address and Radio & TV Broadcast. Its products include systems for radio broadcast, television broadcast, live sound, public address, and commercial sound.

History Klotz Digital was founded in 1990 by Thomas Klotz. The company's products were first used in live sound installations and later in the 1990s found their way into broadcast facilities. In 2002 the company entered into the public address market with a digital public address product line named Varizone. The live sound, broadcast, and public address markets were the main markets for the company. At the end of 2009, Klotz Digital AG was acquired by United Screens Media AG. Thomas Klotz resigned from his position, and Dr. Andreas Gruettner, known as CEO of United Screens Media AG, was appointed Klotz Digital’s new CEO. The company was then renamed to QPhonics AG and finally after its insolvency in 2013 turned into a company named Qphonics GmbH which went into insolvency in 2015. Klotz Communications GmbH, the new company from Thomas Klotz and his partner Andre Sauer, has purchased the assets of the former Qphonics GmbH from the company's insolvency lawyers. Klotz Communications is now the sole owner of all intellectual property, including hardware and software, and controls all licensing, maintenance and upgrades.

Products

The broadcast products range from stand-alone on-air mixing consoles for radio and TV stations to a suite of products to enable efficient workflows in large broadcast facilities and production studios.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Klotz Digital

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Klotz Digital claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Klotz Digital before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Klotz Digital ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Klotz Digital

In research: Klotz Digital appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Klotz Digital in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Klotz Digital is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Audio equipment manufacturers of Germany, Audio mixing console manufacturers, Manufacturing companies based in Munich, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Klotz Digital outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
