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

At $1.2 billion, it’s the league’s most expensive stadium to date, although that price tag is due to be eclipsed by the Jets-Giants new $1.6 billion stadium next year. The entire Statue of Liberty and its base would fit inside the stadium with the roof closed, as would… View this story

Keith Clark 10/19/09 08:07 AM, 0 CommentsWhat makes for an optimum church sound reinforcement system? On the surface, the obvious answer is “good sound quality.” Yet anyone possessing a grain of systems experience knows the correct answer is much more complicated. First, how does one define “good”? It has so many meanings, all of them potentially correct (or not!). Besides, the effectiveness of a system goes way beyond the realm of the often-subjective issue of sound quality. For example, is the system designed to be operator… View this story

PSW Staff 09/22/09 04:36 PM, 0 CommentsOne of the most degrading effects to a cardioid microphone’s frequency response is what’s called “proximity effect”. Proximity effect has to do with distance that a microphone is “worked” - and it can be a blessing or a curse. When a sound source gets closer to the cardioid microphone the bass frequencies can be boosted up to as much as 18 dB in some cases! The closer the source the “boomier” the bass. Singers often use the proximity effect unconsciously,… View this story

PSW Staff 09/02/09 06:01 AM, 0 CommentsAviom, known to countless church sound personnel and musicians for its “more of me” personal monitor mixing controls, has put considerable work into how to move audio signals from one place to another. It’s led to the development of a digital snake system and audio networking system, which Kent Gibson discusses in the August, 2009 issue of Church Production magazine. How does this technology work? What are the advantages (and potential downsides) of transporting signal in the digital domain? And… View this story
