    In today’s über-connected world, it’s easy to become inured by the nearly endless procession of cookie-cutter bands on the Web.

In almost no time at all, the Leeds, UK-based quartet has captured the ears of millions of music lovers, with each gig playing to ever-larger sold-out crowds. On Alt-J’s recently completed U.S. tour, the band counted on… View this story

    London’s Ministry of Sound closed last month for its annual technical overhaul. During the 3-week shutdown, Harman Professional brands distributor Sound Technology Ltd. assisted with the planned upgrade. The world-famous club extended its existing BSS network and provided an additional four channels of AKG DMS 700 wireless capability; but the piéce de resistance is found in 103—the venue’s second dance room—where a new Soundcraft Si Performer digital console now partners the Soundcraft Si2 in the adjacent box.

    Just because a venue is located in a small town and prides itself on its community links and support for local artists doesn’t mean that it is content with being simply average. The Godset Rock Club in Kolding, Denmark is an excellent case in point. “Although we are not a large community, the local government has been consistently supportive in our efforts to create a set of rehearsal rooms and a live venue that has quality written all over it,”… View this story

    It’s a slate gray spring afternoon and I find myself crammed in the back of a creaking Econoline van making its way across the Midwestern prairie to a club gig tonight in central Iowa. We’ve gone from the man-made peaks and valleys of downtown Chicago through the bland sameness of the northern suburbs and now find ourselves looking out across thousands of square miles of dormant brown fields that occasionally yield to exit ramps and truck stops. Only three hours… View this story

    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
