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

Andy Wood 02/07/11 06:18 PM,Many professional audio manufacturers are now actively producing their own proprietary network connection and control systems, thus enabling users to create and control products within the audio chain. While not a particularly new concept (Crown, for example, started the trend in the 1990s with the IQ computer control system for its amplifiers), recent years have seen a plethora of new solutions. Therefore, to partner this article on interconnection options, here’s a brief overview on the control and distribution solutions currently… View this story

Mark Frink 04/09/10 04:44 PM, 1 CommentFrom the smallest van tours to the biggest worldwide touring attractions, digital consoles have established themselves for convenience, consistency and ease of workflow. The modern sound system has neatly divided itself into two major products: loudspeakers and consoles. Most analog consoles have the advantage these days of having been paid for, along with sonic quality and a familiar knob-per-function single-page control surface. However, any production manager can tell you the advantages of digital consoles: footprint, size, weight, repeatability, consistency and… View this story

Rick Chinn 12/31/09 01:59 PM, 0 CommentsThe Altec Lansing 639A/B microphone made its debut in the early 1940s, and was originally sold by Western Electric (WECO) under the same model number. When the U.S. government forced the breakup of WECO in 1947, Altec spun off to continue manufacturing the WECO sound reinforcement and related products, and they continued to make/offer the 639 for many years afterward. The microphone earned the nickname of “birdcage” because of its size and body design. It’s an early unidirectional microphone, and… View this story

Everyone said they were doing great business so go figure. PLUG-INS, PLUG-INS & MORE PLUG-INS! Judging by the many fascinating and powerful new plug-ins offered, no software plug-in developers… View this story
