Monty Ross 12/01/10 03:07 PM, 0 CommentsLimiters are in the protection business, limiting audio systems to safe levels. These limits protect loudspeakers, protect the audio signal from clipping, protect the neighbors, and protect ears. A limiter continuously monitors the audio signal, looking for levels exceeding its adjustable threshold. A limiter normally operates at unity gain and has no effect on the signal. If excessive levels are detected, the Voltage Controlled Attenuator (VCA) automatically reduces the gain. If the level never exceeds the threshold, the signal remains… View this story

PSW Staff 08/17/09 10:28 AM,Mackie describes the HD1531 as a “15” High-Definition Powered Loudspeaker System”. Yep, it’s got a 15” woofer, and it’s a three-way system, and it’s powered. Now what’s all this about being “High Definition”? I suppose I could try to explain it, but it might be easier if you just go here (pdf) and get the Mackie explanation. The ordinary every-day non-HD attributes of this powered loudspeaker include 900 watts of power with an 1800 watt peak. Power is divided 700/100/100… View this story

Fletcher 07/29/09 10:44 AM, 0 CommentsThe great “democratization” of audio which started the undoing of the traditional recording studio in the 1990s, has mushroomed into a thriving industry. On the level of national releases, it seems that only a very rare few are recorded in a proper studio from beginning to end. I’m sure that just about everyone involved with music has worked with an artist that has either done their entire recording project at home, or recorded at home for some “famous mixer dude”… View this story
