Jeff Kuells 12/20/11 11:28 AM,When I set out writing the article it was originally about 70-volt audio distribution systems. However, it occurred to me that prior to educating readers about 70-volt systems, it was more important to examine the market conditions we’re currently face today. Quite often, sound reinforcement companies are asked to perform audio installations. While sound contracting and live sound may be the focus of a few businesses tackling both markets is not the norm for most sound reinforcement companies. However, one-stop… View this story

Chris Lyons, Tim Vear, & Michael Pettersen 08/22/11 06:07 PM, 2 CommentsIn order to select a microphone for a specific application, and to apply it properly, it is first necessary to know the important characteristics of the sound source(s) and of the sound system. Once these are defined, a look at the five areas of microphone specifications will lead to an appropriate match. Finally, proper use of the microphone, by correct placement and operation, will insure best performance. This section presents recommendations for some of the most common meeting facility sound… View this story

Rick Kamlet 08/02/11 06:02 PM, 0 CommentsThis is the third segment in our series on design principles for distributed systems. For additional reading, be sure to check out the first and second articles within the series. A number of different patterns can be used for laying out ceiling loudspeakers, and each pattern can be implemented in different degrees of layout density. The pattern and density selected for an installation affect: • Evenness of coverage • Sound level capability of the system • Intelligibility • Power amplification… View this story

Rick Kamlet 07/27/11 05:51 PM, 0 CommentsPart one in this series is available here. We need to consider the real, long-term sound pressure level capability of today’s sound reinforcement systems to make sure they’re not being operated at levels where the components are stressed or where they won’t sound good. While acoustic design programs do a good job of predicting how the system will perform in a given room, the system designer must determine what the goal is for each application. What SPL Is Not SPL… View this story

PSW Staff 07/08/11 04:36 PM, 0 CommentsLast year, former Boston Red Sox second baseman Jerry Remy partnered with Cronin Group Restaurants to create Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar & Grill just outside of historic Fenway Park. The venture was so successful that a second location at Liberty Wharf on Boston Harbor was recently opened. Like its predecessor, the new restaurant promises a game-day experience that rivals Fenway itself, with a 32-foot monster HD video wall (New England’s largest) and forty-six additional large HD plasma screens distributed strategically… View this story
