Tim Vear 12/12/11 03:30 PM,An important consideration in microphone use is acoustic interference, which can occur whenever delayed versions of the same sound are mixed together, acoustically or electrically. With mics, this may happen in several ways: mics of reverse polarity picking up the same sound, multiple mics picking up the same sound from different distances, a single mic picking up multiple reflections of the same sound, or any combination of these. The results are similar in each case, and include audible peaks and… View this story

Mike Wireless 08/26/09 04:38 PM, 1 CommentTwo interesting developments have emerged recently under the heading of “white spaces”. First, if you recall, the FCC authorized the development and eventual marketing of “white space devices” that have now come to be known as TVBDs (TV Band Devices). However, the technical requirements for these devices are quite stringent; specifically, that they must sense other signals and take a lower priority in any given location than existing TV broadcasts and wireless microphones. Microsoft, working with researchers at Harvard University,… View this story

Kevin Young 08/21/09 03:53 PM,After Michael Prowda made the decision to get into live sound he never looked back. “I had no expectations at the time,” he said. “I just wanted to do it. It was like I was driven to be successful.” Based on that comment, it’s no great surprise that the Syracuse, NY-born monitor engineer counts running among his favorite off stage activities. He brings the kind of discipline and perspective to his work that’s essential to anyone who takes pleasure from… View this story

Kevin Young 08/19/09 11:01 AM, 0 CommentsIt’s hardly rare to hear the words “major motion picture event” applied to a summer film. Visually stunning or not, whether it’s the latest Hollywood biopic, all-star comedy or action adventure, the phrase is attached to big budget summer flicks so permanently and casually that we hardly take notice. In the case of director Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s environ-epic “Home”, however, that phrase actually rings true… Produced by Luc Besson and backed by PPR, a French holding company that specializes in some… View this story

PSW Staff 08/17/09 11:28 AM,Mackie describes the HD1531 as a “15” High-Definition Powered Loudspeaker System”. Yep, it’s got a 15” woofer, and it’s a three-way system, and it’s powered. Now what’s all this about being “High Definition”? I suppose I could try to explain it, but it might be easier if you just go here (pdf) and get the Mackie explanation. The ordinary every-day non-HD attributes of this powered loudspeaker include 900 watts of power with an 1800 watt peak. Power is divided 700/100/100… View this story
