For most humans, there is nothing easier than breathing, seeing, smelling and hearing. We do these things without thought, and even take them for granted.

“It’s all Greek to me.” I hear that phrase often when speaking about the basic concepts of sound in churches. Being both a sound engineer and a musician, I’ve noticed that there is often a stark contrast between learning to play music and operating a sound system. When I learned to play my preferred instrument, I spent countless hours alone in my room making horrible racket that would someday become music. After that racket became music, I went to school…

Thirty-five years ago, Bob Heil built one of his now famous talk boxes and gave it to Peter Frampton as a Christmas present. Audio history shows that the talk box played a huge roll with Frampton’s first solo album, the landmark “Frampton Comes Alive!” Released in 1976, the release went on to become the all-time best-selling live album to this point in time. Heil and Frampton went their separate ways over the years, with Heil guiding his company, Heil Sound,…

The Marshall Electronics MXL professional microphone line has evolved with the introduction of the V89, a fully pro condenser microphone whose performance belies its $599 MSRP (U.S.). The V89 is proof positive; a perfect example of the way Marshall has “dialed in” quality control of their own overseas manufacturer to produce an instrument worthy to be called “professional.” The V89 starts with a custom body design made of brass that minimizes body resonance while the chromed tuned grill cavity helps…
