Vance Breshears 04/22/11 09:33 AM, 1 CommentMost of us think we have it together, at least most of the time. We try to have a balance on all things “life” – work, family, time management, enjoying the “little” moments, and so on. It’s all the stuff that you can read about in some magazine found in the check-out line at the grocery store - “How To Get Your Life Together,” or something like that. Then again, if we take a closer look (some of us don’t… View this story

Paul D. Lehrman 04/01/11 10:20 AM, 0 Comments“The most important piece of equipment in a recording studio is the control room,” says Phil Greene, chief engineer and part-owner of Normandy Sound, located in Warren, Rhode Island. It’s that kind of thinking that led Normandy, one of the first 24-track studios in the region, to become the first facility in the six states to feature a certified Live-End/Dead-End control room. Since the new room opened last October, business has been good, but that’s not necessarily due to the… View this story

Mike Wireless 03/24/11 02:38 PM,One of the topics that I’ve seen poorly understood, and even deliberately used to mislead people, is the issue of wireless microphone transmitter power and the effects said power has on system performance. Let’s start with the basics: all things being equal, more transmitter power = more range for the system, but not in a linear way. In broad terms, when discussing analog wireless systems, the receiver wants to see a signal from a transmitter that is at least about… View this story

Dave Dermont 07/26/10 06:34 PM, 2 CommentsThere are advantages to getting older. Years of learning something new at every gig add up to that thing we call experience. You remember how well the first Soundcraft console you ever used responded to your touch. You recall, despite its simple interface and lack of things to tweak, how great the reverb of a Lexicon PCM-60 sounded. Another advantage to getting older is that the gear you lusted after as a youngster becomes affordable. The downside of this can… View this story

Mark Frink 09/01/09 10:24 AM, 1 CommentThis time in Real World Gear we look at the big guns - large format line arrays, those with 12-inch and larger woofers. Line arrays are modular, multi-way enclosures arrayed in vertical columns, with their cabinet’s geometry optimized to provide full-frequency transducer coupling from one enclosure to the next along the height of the array. This is achieved at lower frequencies with cone transducers forming a column from one cabinet to the next, at frequencies where the distance between their… View this story
