PSW Staff 09/14/11 10:46 AM, 0 CommentsWelcome to our quiz featuring 20 questions about stage monitoring and related issues. This is somewhat subjective and largely intended for entertainment purposes - better known as FUN for short - although there is fact and/or truth in many of the “correct” responses. Time for the obligatory non-apology: “We apologize if this quiz offends anyone. That is… er, is not... our intention. Besides, if you don’t like it, we’ll just claim you took it out of context.” Enjoy! 1) Why… View this story

A proprietary Tru-Phase conical high frequency waveguide eliminates the transition anomalies that occur in most square and rectangular horns, enhancing phase and frequency response performance while also reducing feedback, improving intelligibility and delivering uniform… View this story

Jon Baumgartner 07/15/11 01:46 PM,A stage monitoring system is, simply, a complete and independent second sound system for the performers rather than the audience, made up of monitor loudspeakers (also called monitors for short or wedges due to their shape), power amplification and signal processing. A monitor system can also have its own mixer/console, or receive a feed (or feeds) from the main system console. Note that adjustments made to the main system mix do not affect the monitor system mix, and vice versa.… View this story
