    Rat Sound, located in Camarillo, CA recently purchased 16 RCF TTS56-A powered subwoofers for their expansive rental inventory. “We’ve been seeing an increase in client demand for a 21-inch based subwoofer product capable of reproducing very high SPL levels at very low frequencies,” explains Dave Rat, owner of Rat Sound. “After some testing we found that the RCF TTS56’s self powered design, high output levels and competitive price point were an excellent solution to fill that demand.” The testing showed… View this story

    Adamson Systems announced two new additions to its Energia line, the new e12 full-range line array module and e218 subwoofer.

This skeletal structure provides an accurate and rigid frame for mounting the modular Autolock rigging system, while simultaneously housing a series of mid/high components on proprietary Co-Linear Drive Modules. The e-capsule is joined by a birch ply enclosures containing… View this story

    It’s pretty easy to build a big woofer box. Making one that sounds good is not so easy. Making one that sounds good AND goes really loud is much more difficult. Add touring requirements to the mix—easy stacking, easy flying, moderate weight, good shape for truck pack—and it’s easy to see why there aren’t many good concert woofers available. This note describes how I try to solve these problems in my designs. Requirements Here’s what I think is an appropriate… View this story

    Every Sunday the Shore Community Church sets up and packs down their own audio equipment before and after each service in the Albany Junior High School’s sports hall. In the past they had used an ageing, very large and heavy audio system. The challenge assigned to local installer Halogen Audio was to find a system that met the church’s high audio expectations while also meeting their requirements for portability and ease of set up. After trying our various options they… View this story

    I’ve spent the past several years experimenting with various types of subwoofer arrays and have arrived at the same conclusion each time: with each method, something is gained while something else is lost. Left-right placement enhances coverage on the sides at the expense of drastic power alleys and cancellation zones. Horizontal arrays produce even coverage in front of the array at the expense of a major drop-off on the sides. With delayed arcing, side coverage is improved, at the expense… View this story

    It’s not a secret that an increasing number of churches are adopting sophisticated production technology and using it to great effect, including implementing sound reinforcement systems that would be well-capable of supporting larger scale concert tours and high-end performing arts centers. At the forefront of these systems are the loudspeakers, and for larger venues, they’re often in line array format. Column loudspeakers have also become a popular choice, particularly models that offer “beam steering” to help keep excessive energy off… View this story
