    Glee’s transition to the stage has proved as huge a hit as the television show itself. Following a sold-out US tour in 2010, the show crossed the Atlantic for an equally successful tour of the UK, including multiple sold out dates at both London and Dublin’s The O2 and Manchester’s MEN Arena this summer. Clair Global provided the show’s sound requirements, supplying two DiGiCoSD7s, one for the cast and one for the band, with JH Audio providing its JH 16… View this story

    Understanding Analog & Digital In Terms Of Audio
    image
    Bruce Jackson & Steve Harvey 08/05/11 02:35 PM, 5 Comments
    Analog? Digital? Both? In professional audio, many choices exist, but there’s not enough time to make the wrong ones. We regularly hear claims floating about, often skewed by particular opinions and interests that tend to color underlying simple truths. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the noun “analog” as being something that is analogous (similar or related) to something else. For example, an analog can be a food product that represents another, such as inexpensive whitefish “krab” intended to replicate more expensive… View this story

    Sound Shaping: Graphic Equalizers Over The Decades & What They Bring To The Table
    equalization
    PSW Staff 07/12/11 04:16 PM,
    A couple of years ago marked the 40th anniversary of the Altec Lansing passive third-octave “continuous” equalizer that began modern sound system equalization. It didn’t start as a graphic equalizer. It was three rows of eight knobs on third octave centers. A companion third-octave real-time analyzer, three rows of eight VU meters, provided a means to measure a sound system. Subsequent Altec EQs replaced the knobs with a row of sliders, earning the name “graphic” because their positions provide a… View this story
