This article is provided by Church Soundcheck Audio consultants often find themselves working with people in churches who seem eternally bent on saving money at any cost. This is the kind of church that will call with the seemingly innocent request to have the consultant design a new sound system for them. At some point in the conversation they’ll add that they want to do the installation themselves. That approach can be a mixed blessing both for the consultant and…

Designing an audio system isn’t always as simple as picking your favorite boxes, throwing some amps in racks, and “firing it up.” While favored loudspeakers might indeed be a starting place, there are vital factors that must be addressed, including the coverage needs of the room, characteristics or obstacles in the room that could be problematic, weight limits with respect to flying components, and so on. Another issue can be the musical “feel” the client is going for. Different loudspeaker…

This article is provided by Church Audio Video. Wouldn’t it be great once we’ve gotten a new audio system up and running that it never required any attention? That’s probably the most frequent dream church sound techs have besides that brand-new automated digital console, right? The fact is that even the best designed and installed sound systems require a tune-up every now and then to perform at their best. Before you break out the toolbox (or the checkbook), here…

This article is provided by Commercial Integrator The touchpanel is not in any danger of going away. Nope, no danger at all. In fact, touchpanels are going to be used more in commercial electronics integration. Every installation over $2,000 may soon be sporting a shiny, new, large-screen, high-resolution touchpanel. I am also prepared to declare a winner of the touchpanel debate. With Crestron, AMX, and Extron appearing to be the market leaders, it isn’t easy to name a winner…

How fast do sound signals travel through the various parts of the sound system? Do sound signals travel faster in analog snake cables or fiber optic cables? Also, what about transmission through the air with wireless mics? And where do the true and relevant sources of time lag exist in a audio system? What I find really interesting is that sound signal travels at differing speeds depending on whether it’s in the form of electricity, or sound waves in air,…

Software viruses are common occurrences in the computing world. In fact, almost everyone is familiar with their potential for damage, and the news media routinely reports the details of system disruption related to their appearance. It’s a reasonable term to apply to these rogue programs. They enter a system unseen, often incubate in silence, and eventually come to life with results that range from merely annoying to disastrous. Electrical disturbances are quite similar. In fact they could reasonably be called…

Editor’s Note: This article provides straightforward explanations of the primary issues that account for a full 80 to 90 percent of all wireless microphone system problems, while also presenting solutions that will do the trick in most cases. However, keep in mind that the best solution is avoiding these problems from the outset. Certainly this won’t guarantee completely trouble-free operation, but the odds dramatically improve. This compilation of wireless system knowledge is provided by several highly qualified professionals, with Gary…
