PSW Staff 02/06/12 11:59 AM,The professorship of Mechatronics at the Helmut-Schmidt University and University of the German Federal Armed Forces in Hamburg has chosen 16 Adamson Systems B-118 subwoofers for a new sound reinforcement system used as the primary sound projection source with an aircraft passenger cabin model. This experimental loudspeaker rig will be used for studying the effects of noise emissions of the controversial propfan engines inside of the cabin, and the effectiveness of active noise cancelling measures. The B-118 subwoofers are utilized… View this story

Jeff Berryman 12/19/11 10:14 AM,These days, concert loudspeaker systems can sound very good over most of the frequency range. Things have improved a lot in the last five or ten years. But to my ears, bass sound hasn’t made nearly as much progress. How often have do you go to a show, particularly a fairly loud one, and feel that you’re listening to a war between the upper and lower halves of the spectrum? It all sounds pretty good at low levels, but when… View this story

That’s all well and good, but there are a few steps that you can follow that might help your venture into low frequency territory a lot easier. 1. Do… View this story

PSW Staff 09/28/11 04:30 PM, 0 CommentsAt just over 100,000 square feet, the largest public space in the city of Wasilla, Alaska is the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center. It is capable of handling 5,000 visitors, which is a common occurrence at graduations, rallies, and, of course, hockey & indoor football contests. It opened in 2004, but its original sound reinforcement system was so ineffective that the facility had to rent a sound system for every event of consequence. Even then, intelligibility was marginal. The… View this story

Tom Young 09/02/11 06:49 AM,Over the past several years, a technique most commonly called “aux fed subs” has been developed for reducing low-frequency “muddiness” from front-of-house loudspeaker systems. This technique has resulted in considerable benefits over a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications, but there is confusion as to what it encompasses and what it accomplishes. Let’s clarify the details and describe the set up of an aux fed subwoofer system. We’ll also be addressing some frequently asked questions on the topic. In a… View this story
