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…

This article is provided by Rane Corporation. The dynamic range of an audio passage is the ratio of the loudest signal to the quietest signal. For signal processors the magnitude of the power supply voltages restricts the maximum output signal and the noise floor determines the minimum output signal. Professional-grade signal processing equipment can output maximum levels of +26 dBu, with the best noise floors being down around -94 dBu. This gives a dynamic range of 120 dB—an impressive…

In the days when digital signal processing (DSP) first stalked the arena, it was the guys at front of house that had all the fun. They would ignore their comm light for long periods of time while staring intently at asymmetrical crossovers on their laptop displays. But now that DSP is ubquitous, the guys at the other end of the snake are beginning to experience the joys of audio in the digital domain. The real beauty of DSP in monitorland…

This is the 40th anniversary of Altec Lansing’s passive third-octave “continuous” equalizer that began modern sound system equalization. It didn’t start as a graphic equalizer, but rather, 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 graphic display of the…

The long, rich history of St. Joseph University Church in Buffalo, New York has played out over the past 160 years in a series of ever more glorious buildings. Where once an austere wood-frame church capable of accommodating 280 stood, the timeless stone and stunning architecture of the current St. Joseph University Church now holds 800 congregants. Above its traditional cross-shaped stone floor soar pillars and walls of white stone and breathtaking stained glass to a 45-feet plaster ceiling. Although…

Ryokaku-ji Temple is located in Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture, three-hundred miles west of Tokyo in central Japan. Although it was founded nearly five hundred years ago – literally centuries before the advent of sound reinforcement – Ryokaku-ji Temple has never hesitated to embrace new technologies. When the temple moved to a new building fourteen years ago, it installed a sound system for the 100-seat hall of worship that promised clear speech and moving music reproduction. However, much to the disappointment of…

The building that houses The Rose Theater in Omaha, Nebraska originally opened its doors in 1927 under the name The Riviera. Lavish in every respect, the building boasted ornate tapestries and Oriental rugs, sculptures, a mosaic floor, decorative fountains, Mediterranean-style murals, and a ceiling painted with sunset clouds and dotted with electric stars… not to mention stunning acoustics. Like many other theaters built in that era, hard times fell upon The Riviera during the depression, and the theater changed hands…
