John Murray 10/26/10 01:20 PM, 1 CommentQuestion: A while ago, I wondered what caused a Constant Directivity (CD) horn to exhibit a roll-off different from any other. I made the assumption the phenomenon existed after seeing numerous processing products that include “CD horn compensation.” I was told that no such thing existed, and that the roll-off exhibited was due to the break point associated with the diaphragm mass of the driver. Could you please elaborate on what the truth is here? And what is this break… View this story

Dave Dermont 07/26/10 05:34 PM, 2 CommentsThere are advantages to getting older. Years of learning something new at every gig add up to that thing we call experience. You remember how well the first Soundcraft console you ever used responded to your touch. You recall, despite its simple interface and lack of things to tweak, how great the reverb of a Lexicon PCM-60 sounded. Another advantage to getting older is that the gear you lusted after as a youngster becomes affordable. The downside of this can… View this story

Mark Frink 04/09/10 03:44 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

Mark Frink 02/26/10 02:12 PM, 0 CommentsAs with all sizes of modular line array enclosures there are several designs in the “mini” genre, which we define as those with 7-inch “woofers”. The simplest two-way systems have a single cone driver and a high-frequency driver, side by each. Some employ dual woofers, and those with a center high-frequency section that provides horizontal symmetry. Quasi-three-way solutions use dual woofers, but cross one over earlier, so the other is the single source of mid-range, eliminating cancellations. True three-way designs… View this story
