Tim Vear 12/12/11 02:30 PM,An important consideration in microphone use is acoustic interference, which can occur whenever delayed versions of the same sound are mixed together, acoustically or electrically. With mics, this may happen in several ways: mics of reverse polarity picking up the same sound, multiple mics picking up the same sound from different distances, a single mic picking up multiple reflections of the same sound, or any combination of these. The results are similar in each case, and include audible peaks and… 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

Curt Taipale 04/13/11 09:42 AM, 0 CommentsHow do you establish priorities for your operating budget each year? Do you have a five year plan for your ministry, a solid idea of where you want to be in the future, and a way to stay on task? Do you find yourself constantly putting out fires, using duct tape and tin foil solutions, and never quite hitting the mark? Consensus In preparing to write this article, I enlisted the help of our ChurchSoundcheck Discussion Group. I found their… View this story

Pat Brown 04/12/11 10:00 AM, 0 CommentsFew subjects generate more confusion in the audio world than power. There is a very good reason for this - it’s a confusing subject, and one that can easily fool our intuition. Most of us are on a power trip - our attitude is that “more is better.” We want bigger amplifiers and more “powerful” loudspeakers so that our sound systems will be louder. In fact, power ratings are often the main (or only) criteria considered regarding amplifiers and loudspeakers… View this story

Jamie Anderson 04/06/11 07:30 AM, 0 CommentsBe sure to see the related article by Jamie entitled “Anatomy Of A System Measurement Rig: Probes, Preamps & Processors” While it may be counter-intuitive, for 99.52367% (roughly speaking) of common applications, the signal quality that our system measurement/analyzer rigs require to produce good measurements is, by pro audio standards, not really that high - particularly when compared to the signal quality demanded for studio recording or even simple listening. What we require from the signal transmission path in our… View this story

Al Keltz 04/04/11 08:01 AM, 1 CommentMurphy’s Audio Law #10: “The probability of having sound system failure is inversely proportional to the amount of time remaining until the performance.” We’ve all experienced it - something in our system not working properly or not working at all, and too often, it happens just before the start of a performance. Although the first instinct might be to take a “shotgun” approach and start checking plugs, connections, cables, etc. in a random fashion (i.e., “panic”), a tried-and-true troubleshooting method… View this story
