SynAudCon is pleased to announce the release of their 5th web-based audio training course titled “Sound Reinforcement For Designers”. This web-based course covers the fundamentals of loudspeaker selection and placement to achieve acceptable speech intelligibility in reverberant spaces. It is for anyone who selects and places loudspeakers in rooms. The content paves a logical path from the site survey through the design process, describing and demonstrating what must be considered each step of the way. “We have computer room-modeling programs…

Intuition is one of the most valuable tools of the sound system designer. But sometimes intuition can lead us astray. Humans tend to think in terms of linear relationships rather than proportional relationships. But most significant changes in an audio system are related to the proportional change rather than linear change. For example, a 2-to-l power ratio produces a 3 dB increase in level, regardless of the initial power. A 1 watt to 2 watt increase produces the same proportional…

An auditorium is a “place for hearing”. It’s very definition suggests that any aspect of the space that has to do with communication should be given high priority. Prior to the invention of the sound reinforcement system, an auditorium was a space designed to allow a large number of people to be addressed by an unreinforced talker. The room geometry and acoustical treatments in an auditorium provided natural reinforcement for the acoustic source. The ancient Greeks even built megaphones into…

We’ve all spent more than enough time dealing with snakes. You know, microphone snakes, drive snakes, sub snakes, unscrupulous promoters… The most dreaded job in sound reinforcement is peeling up and stowing a snake after a three-day metal festival where it runs right along the fence next to the beer garden. By the end of a regional tour, snakes can swell to twice their normal size with sticky duct tape and used chewing gum. And why is it always the…

In evaluating the success or failure of every house of worship sound reinforcement system, two requirements stand out: coverage and intelligibility. Does the system provide completely smooth and consistent coverage throughout the entire space? And, can every syllable of every word (and every note of every song) be heard and understood - and even further - within their intended context? This is the heart of the matter. If a system can’t be heard due to substandard coverage to certain areas,…
