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

Dale Alexander 02/07/11 07:01 PM, 0 CommentsThe question that is at the top of the list when we talk to pastors and music ministers: Why can’t we hear the choir?

In many evangelical churches, the choir is still an extremely important element of the worship service although the musical styles have evolved from… 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 story

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

Tim Vear 08/06/10 06:18 AM, 0 CommentsSound Waves Sound moves through the air like waves in water. Sound waves consist of pressure variations traveling through the air. When the sound wave travels, it compresses air molecules together at one point. This is called the high pressure zone or positive component(+). After the compression, an expansion of molecules occurs. This is the low pressure zone or negative component(-). This process continues along the path of the sound wave until its energy becomes too weak to hear. The… View this story
