PSW Staff 04/12/13 12:09 PM,See Part 1, Microphone Cable, here. What are the main parts of a loudspeaker cable, and what does each one do? Typically a loudspeaker cable has two stranded copper conductors, covered with insulation, twisted together with fillers and sheathed with an overall jacket. How big should the conductors be? The required size (or gauge) of the conductors depends on three factors: (1) the load impedance; (2) the length of cable required; and (3) the amount of power loss that can… View this story

PSW Staff 02/15/13 01:11 PM,What is impedance? Impedance is the AC (alternating current) version of the DC (direct current) term resistance, which is the opposition to electron current flow in a circuit and is expressed in ohms. Impedance (often abbreviated as “Z”) includes capactive reactance and inductive reactance in addition to simple DC resistance. Reactance depends upon the frequency of the signal flowing in the circuit. Capactive reactance increases as frequency decreases: inductive reactance increases as frequency increases. Because of this frequency dependence, impedance… View this story

PSW Staff 03/15/10 10:38 AM, 0 CommentsPro Co Sound, Inc., has announced the introduction of the new RA1 Reamping Box to its line of TradeTools Audio Interface Devices. The Pro Co RA1 Reamping box is designed to take line level play back of a dry recorded track and convert it to guitar level. This allows the engineer to take the “best take ” of the day, and feed it through various effects pedals and/or amplifiers. This process is also useful for recreating/adjusting microphone placement for an… View this story
