Keith Clark 01/05/12 09:37 AM,When noting the contributions of Don and Carolyn Davis to the professional audio industry, it’s hard to know where to even start. Their book, Sound System Engineering, originally published in 1973 (and since updated), remains a standard audio and systems resource. Founders of SynAudCon, Don and Carolyn established the industry’s pre-imminent and most respected (and independent) educational resource, teaching thousands the essential concepts of audio and acoustics that in turn has led to remarkable advancements in systems and sound quality… View this story

PSW Staff 10/05/11 09:02 AM, 0 CommentsSynAudCon, the industry leading organization in audio education, has announced the debut of a new web-based training course “Course 110: Transformer-Distributed Loudspeaker Systems”. Some types of audio systems require a power distribution system to drive many loudspeakers from a single amplifier. Oftentimes these are referred to with terms like “constant voltage” and “70 V system” systems. “Course 110: Transformer-Distributed Loudspeaker Systems” demonstrates how these systems work, and how to design and troubleshoot them. The course includes the “Audio Click-Rule” –… View this story

Pat Brown 06/06/11 08:46 AM, 1 CommentIf you are tooling up to do sound system work, you are doing it at a good time. There are many excellent acoustical measurement platforms to pick from. It is not so important which one you use, as to how you use it. Plan on lots of study, practice, experimentation and head scratching. In addition to software, you will need some associated goodies to round out your measurement rig. Since this question comes up often in the seminars, I decided… View this story

Pat Brown 01/24/11 05:05 PM, 0 CommentsIt is difficult to describe how something sounds. The terms are vague and subjective, and often have different meanings to different people. Sound is meant for listening, and the listening process is the most power diagnostic tool for the audio technician. Measurement systems yield lots of data, but it can be difficult to interpret. It makes perfect sense to combine the hearing process with the measurement process, allowing the benefits of each to be exploited. The processes of convolution and… View this story

Pat Brown 12/24/10 09:32 AM, 0 CommentsA common task in “audioland” is the need to feed a number of inputs from a single signal source. This may include driving a rack of amplifiers, providing feeds to the press, or distributing a signal around a building or campus. The methods used to accomplish this range from the profoundly simple to quite complex, and the appropriate method can only be determined after sizing up the situation. Impedance matching means that an output is terminated with a “mirror” input… View this story

Pat Brown 10/12/10 11:48 AM, 0 CommentsFor most humans, there is nothing easier than breathing, seeing, smelling and hearing. We do these things without thought, and even take them for granted. Our senses were given to us to help us exist in a physical universe. They are transducers that allow physical stimuli to be converted into a form recognized by the brain. We are bombarded with stimuli every waking moment, and our brains are continuously processing the information to help us function in our environment. Of… View this story
