Bob Thurmond 02/16/12 10:11 AM,How many sound systems are in use? Many millions, for sure, and they’re found in all types of venues and for all kinds of programs. So one would think we’d know exactly how to do it by now. But there seems to be plenty of examples to prove that we don’t. Why should this be? What is it we don’t yet understand? Do we even know enough to know what we don’t know? Perhaps we should start by trying to… View this story

Adam Shulman 02/13/12 07:46 AM,The term optimization stems from the French word optimisme, meaning “the greatest good” or “the best.” Historically, the sound reinforcement industry has employed the term in the context of sound system tuning or alignment, but it was not until recently that the use of the term optimization has taken on a more literal and formalized meaning. It’s important to be familiar with the concept of numerical optimization (most simply, the determination of input values to obtain a function’s maximum or… View this story

Joe Gilder 11/04/11 01:59 PM, 2 CommentsThis article is provided by Home Studio Corner. A while back I had the pleasure of attending a seminar given by Gavin Haverstick of Haverstick Designs. The topic of the seminar was how to measure the acoustic issues of your room. He talked about various measurement techniques and devices. All of this was very interesting, but the most fascinating part for me was during the question-and-answer section at the end. Someone in the audience asked Gavin to give his… View this story

Gary D. Davis 11/04/11 08:43 AM,R-e/p: Dick, how did you choose an engineer for the Dylan album? Dick LaPalm: I left the decision up to Rob. I asked him who should do it. At the time we had 3 guys. Rob came back after a couple of days and said, “I should do it.” I said, “Fine.” R-e/p: Rob, why did you decide to do it? Rob Fraboni: Mainly because I was really familiar with Bob’s music, as well as The Band’s. I’ve been listening… View this story

Jon Tidey 10/17/11 03:13 PM,This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. Recently I moved my home studio from one room to another. From a nearly 200-square-foot living room to a 100-square-foot bedroom. It’s been a long time since I’ve thought about room acoustics and because this is a common situation for home studios, I thought I’d share my experience. This article will help you understand and overcome the challenges of a dedicated studio in a small room. It will be most helpful… View this story

Gary Zandstra 09/05/11 08:16 AM, 0 CommentsI was recently out doing a demo with the JBL VerTec rig that I often talk about. The room was a traditional shoe box sanctuary that was very reverberant. The walls were plaster, the ceiling also plaster and had a slight smooth arch to it. The balcony wall was glass that stretched from side to side with a flat plaster wall above the glass. One nice thing was that the reverb was relatively full frequency and smooth. In fact, congregational… View this story

Jamie Anderson 08/23/11 04:31 PM, 1 CommentFeed The Brain. The primary job of a measurement rig is to acquire electrical and acoustical signals and feed them to the processor so that it can analyze, compare, slice, dice, fold, spindle and mutilate those signals and produce multi-colored charts, graphs and the all-important squiggly lines. “But my software can produce squiggly lines all by itself without all those bothersome wires, preamps and microphones. Isn’t that enough?” Maybe. It depends on whether you are getting paid to pose or… View this story
