Summit Ridge Christian Fellowship located in Spokane, Washington, recently upgraded their worship services with a new sound system powered by Powersoft amplifiers. The church leadership worked closely with AGI Professional, located in Eugene, Oregon, to design a system that would accommodate not only their contemporary services but also their requirement for the system to be portable with easy set-up. “Summit Ridge is part of a growing segment of churches that doesn’t own a brick and mortar building but instead leases…

In 2010, Powersoft, entered into a strategic partnership with EAW which would allow both companies to integrate proprietary EAW DSP algorithms into Powersoft’s K Series power amplifier line when equipped with DSP modules. This month Powersoft has announced that the latest software upgrades for Powersoft’s K Series DSP amplifiers now support EAW Focusing as a result of this collaboration between EAW and Powersoft engineers. “EAW users will benefit greatly from Greyboxes residing within the K Series DSP,” explains Thomas Mittelmann,…

Powersoft has announced the introduction of M Series DSP+ETH power amplifiers outfitted with 24-bit/48 kHz AD/DA converters with 56-bit for internal processing. With two inputs and outputs each for the 2-channel version and four inputs and outputs each for the 4-channel version, the system offers per channel five bi-quad filters for system equalization, eliminating the need for outboard equalizers, plus two crossovers and eight bi-quad filters. Each channel has dual dynamic processors with arbitrary input/output curve and adjustable time constants.…

When the upscale Hotel Jerome and restaurant Silver Queen, both located in Aspen, approached Colorado-based A/V designer and integrator Halcyon Productions with woes of ailing and difficult-to-control sound systems, co-owner Heath Manning prescribed Ashly Audio’s ne24.24M modular DSP together with the incredibly easy-to-use WR-5 wall mount remote control. The cost-effective units sound great and provide an appropriately simple level of control for the often harried staff of both establishments. “User control is a critical issue in the commercial atmosphere of…

For anyone who lives to make music and pines for a soulmate, it would be hard not to envy Irish folk vocalist Cara Dillon and her husband Sam Lakeman. The two met in the band Equation and quickly left to walk a sure and steady path to artistic, commercial, and familial success. Winning dozens of awards and countless accolades, Dillon’s otherworldly voice takes the spotlight, and the duo have created and produced four solid albums on Rough Trade Records and,…

In my perhaps too frequent visits to the Live Audio Board, I regularly read about weekend warriors who have just acquired their first DSP (digital signal processor) system controller and are seeking to understand how it’s auto RTA (real-time analyzer) function can help provide better performance out of their portable sound system. Invariably, the DSP unit is pressed into service for the first gig, a measurement microphone is attached, and some signal (usually pink noise) is run through the rig…

While sound system operators have come to enjoy the considerable benefits of digital signal processing, it’s important to understand how these devices truly interact with loudspeakers. There’s a lot of cause and effect that sometimes gets overlooked, resulting in less than optimum performance, and leaving the operator scratching his head as to what’s going wrong. One particularly important aspect that is often overlooked is using a DSP to drive loudspeakers with a manufacturer’s prescribed settings (or other target drive function).…

The Weinstein Group is an A/V installation and event production company located in Fergus, Ontario, and is owned by Michael Weinstein. Over the decades that he has been building, tuning, and fixing A/V systems, Weinstein has observed that most systems go awry not through any fault of their own. Rather, it is the busy fingers of employees with just a little bit of A/V knowledge (a dangerous thing, you may recall) attempting to make “improvements” that are anything but. Recently,…

Tammany Hall recently opened on Manhattan’s Lower East Side and immediately asserted itself as a formidable player in the local music scene. Its owners have created a number of successful clubs in New York City and across the country, most notably Crash Mansion, also on the LES. Tammany Hall delivers a wide selection of excellent beers and mixed drinks across three floors: an upstairs balcony, a prohibition-style basement lounge, and a main room with a generous stage. The owners gutted…
