James Cadwallader 06/02/11 11:46 AM, 0 CommentsI suspected trouble when I accepted responsibility for something I had no control over. There was a 50/50 chance of either being the hero or the whipping boy. I didn’t care for those odds, but I couldn’t change them. It all started when a friend of the family asked me to help make sure that the sound for his wedding didn’t ruin the ceremony. The catch was that I wasn’t handling the sound - his cousin, the part-time DJ, had… View this story

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 02/04/11 03:09 PM, 0 CommentsThis is the 40th anniversary of Altec Lansing’s passive third-octave “continuous” equalizer that began modern sound system equalization. It didn’t start as a graphic equalizer, but rather, was three rows of eight knobs on third octave centers. A companion third-octave real-time analyzer, three rows of eight VU meters, provided a means to measure a sound system. Subsequent Altec EQs replaced the knobs with a row of sliders, earning the name “graphic” because their positions provide a graphic display of the… 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
