    High-end audio equipment manufacturers pride themselves on consistently delivering robust products that hold up to rough treatment. Unfortunately, the success of any live performance depends on more than just the products themselves: many complex environmental, human, and unknown factors can cause a performance to fail. Radio frequency (RF) interference can compromise the transmission, causing the audio to drop out. The presenter can lean in and nearly swallow the gooseneck microphone head, creating loud pops and bass boost. A drop of… View this story

    The origin of the “Daryl Hall and John Oates” album which came to be known as “The Silver Album” because of its silver metallic cover had a lowly start in the mid-Seventies on a Monday morning at Larrabee Sound in West Hollywood, CA. From the very first time I met Daryl and John when they walked into the control room, I was impressed by how together—how in sync and “present” they were. I remember the proclamation Oates made on that… View this story
