    For most humans, there is nothing easier than breathing, seeing, smelling and hearing. We do these things without thought, and even take them for granted. Our senses were given to us to help us exist in a physical universe. They are transducers that allow physical stimuli to be converted into a form recognized by the brain. We are bombarded with stimuli every waking moment, and our brains are continuously processing the information to help us function in our environment. Of… View this story

    Sound Waves Sound moves through the air like waves in water. Sound waves consist of pressure variations traveling through the air. When the sound wave travels, it compresses air molecules together at one point. This is called the high pressure zone or positive component(+). After the compression, an expansion of molecules occurs. This is the low pressure zone or negative component(-). This process continues along the path of the sound wave until its energy becomes too weak to hear. The… View this story

    12/11/08 03:24 PM, 0 Comments
    Version 3 of the VMB ARKEOPS digital controller provides air absorption compensation. The attenuation effects of air are well known. At 15 000Hz, for instance, 12 dB of loss can be observed at 30 metres (100 feet) with 30% relative humidity. This makes an otherwise flat frequency response at close range totally dull when the audience is located at a distance. The problem gets worse as humidity decreases and to a less extent when it gets colder. Air attenuation is… View this story

    As Ken Richardson will tell you, it’s about more than just looks. The Minister of Music at Rocky Mount, Virginia’s Franklin Heights Baptist Church is as pleased with their new 1,300-seat sanctuary as anyone, but while most people notice the hall’s open, airy feel and welcoming ambience, Richardson is more impressed with its sound. “So many people build churches to look absolutely stunning, but pay no attention to the sound,” Richardson observes. “Sound is key. Worship is a participatory experience,… View this story
