Daniel L. Newman 09/12/12 10:24 AM,This article is provided by Commercial Integrator The touchpanel is not in any danger of going away. Nope, no danger at all. In fact, touchpanels are going to be used more in commercial electronics integration. Every installation over $2,000 may soon be sporting a shiny, new, large-screen, high-resolution touchpanel. I am also prepared to declare a winner of the touchpanel debate. With Crestron, AMX, and Extron appearing to be the market leaders, it isn’t easy to name a winner… View this story

Pat Brown 03/07/12 03:35 PM,One of my favorite field tools is a basic analog impedance meter. It can be used to troubleshoot a host of sound system problems, either stand-alone or with some additional gadgets. The TOA ZM-104 has been around for many years and many experienced audio people have one. Mine has served me well and has the scars to prove it. It will be the example meter used in this article, although in principle the tests can be conducted using any similar… View this story

Jeff Kuells 12/20/11 10:28 AM,When I set out writing the article it was originally about 70-volt audio distribution systems. However, it occurred to me that prior to educating readers about 70-volt systems, it was more important to examine the market conditions we’re currently face today. Quite often, sound reinforcement companies are asked to perform audio installations. While sound contracting and live sound may be the focus of a few businesses tackling both markets is not the norm for most sound reinforcement companies. However, one-stop… View this story

Rick Kamlet 08/02/11 05:02 PM, 0 CommentsThis is the third segment in our series on design principles for distributed systems. For additional reading, be sure to check out the first and second articles within the series. A number of different patterns can be used for laying out ceiling loudspeakers, and each pattern can be implemented in different degrees of layout density. The pattern and density selected for an installation affect: • Evenness of coverage • Sound level capability of the system • Intelligibility • Power amplification… View this story

Rick Kamlet 07/27/11 04:51 PM, 0 CommentsPart one in this series is available here. We need to consider the real, long-term sound pressure level capability of today’s sound reinforcement systems to make sure they’re not being operated at levels where the components are stressed or where they won’t sound good. While acoustic design programs do a good job of predicting how the system will perform in a given room, the system designer must determine what the goal is for each application. What SPL Is Not SPL… View this story
