Tim Vear 12/12/11 03:30 PM,An important consideration in microphone use is acoustic interference, which can occur whenever delayed versions of the same sound are mixed together, acoustically or electrically. With mics, this may happen in several ways: mics of reverse polarity picking up the same sound, multiple mics picking up the same sound from different distances, a single mic picking up multiple reflections of the same sound, or any combination of these. The results are similar in each case, and include audible peaks and… View this story

Mike Wireless 03/24/11 02:38 PM,One of the topics that I’ve seen poorly understood, and even deliberately used to mislead people, is the issue of wireless microphone transmitter power and the effects said power has on system performance. Let’s start with the basics: all things being equal, more transmitter power = more range for the system, but not in a linear way. In broad terms, when discussing analog wireless systems, the receiver wants to see a signal from a transmitter that is at least about… View this story

David Scheirman 03/17/11 06:08 PM,Chances are you make at least part of your living with your ears. Stop and think about it. Could you perform your job as well…would your income level be the same…would your professional reputation be intact if you suffer severe hearing loss? Both musicians and the live sound technicians who work with them need to be able to hear things. Not just hear them well, but hear them better than the average person. This should make us stop and consider… View this story

Sam Berkow 01/28/11 10:25 AM,If one could listen to only the direct sound of a loudspeaker, the world would be a very different place! Unfortunately, free field listening, where you have no reflections, room modes or ambient noise, is hard to achieve in everyday life, so we listen to loudspeakers in real rooms. The interaction of a loudspeaker system and a room can be very complex to understand, model or measure! One way to measure this interaction is to measure the impulse response of… View this story4 Comments

Pat Brown 10/12/10 12:48 PM, 0 CommentsFor most humans, there is nothing easier than breathing, seeing, smelling and hearing. We do these things without thought, and even take them for granted. Our senses were given to us to help us exist in a physical universe. They are transducers that allow physical stimuli to be converted into a form recognized by the brain. We are bombarded with stimuli every waking moment, and our brains are continuously processing the information to help us function in our environment. Of… View this story

PSW Staff 09/20/10 12:30 PM, 0 CommentsProvided by Sweetwater. Q: My other job (not the day job, if you will) is as a DJ. Recently, I’ve been having an annoying hum with my DJ setup. First, I should probably mention that my setup includes some old-school turntables in addition to CD player. The issue has been hard to chase down because the hum doesn’t happen at all volume levels. However, once I turn up the volume to a level where the noise starts and then… View this story

I can’t recall having a problem in the eight years we have used them.” A few wedges can still be seen on… View this story
