Mike Wireless 03/24/11 02:38 PM,One of the topics that I’ve seen poorly understood, and even deliberately used to mislead people, is the issue of wireless microphone transmitter power and the effects said power has on system performance. Let’s start with the basics: all things being equal, more transmitter power = more range for the system, but not in a linear way. In broad terms, when discussing analog wireless systems, the receiver wants to see a signal from a transmitter that is at least about… View this story

Bill Thrasher, Sr. 02/28/11 02:53 PM, 0 CommentsWhen it comes to the upkeep of sound and A/V systems, I suspect that we often confuse or misuse the terms maintenance, service, repair, replacement and other related words. Here are a few of my definitions: Maintenance - General care and cleaning done at regular intervals that helps equipment and systems last longer and continue performing at their best; Service - More comprehensive than maintenance, this is usually performed bya trained professional with the purpose of addressing minor performance issues… View this story

Andy Wood 02/07/11 06:18 PM,Many professional audio manufacturers are now actively producing their own proprietary network connection and control systems, thus enabling users to create and control products within the audio chain. While not a particularly new concept (Crown, for example, started the trend in the 1990s with the IQ computer control system for its amplifiers), recent years have seen a plethora of new solutions. Therefore, to partner this article on interconnection options, here’s a brief overview on the control and distribution solutions currently… View this story

Mark Frink 09/01/09 10:24 AM, 1 CommentThis time in Real World Gear we look at the big guns - large format line arrays, those with 12-inch and larger woofers. Line arrays are modular, multi-way enclosures arrayed in vertical columns, with their cabinet’s geometry optimized to provide full-frequency transducer coupling from one enclosure to the next along the height of the array. This is achieved at lower frequencies with cone transducers forming a column from one cabinet to the next, at frequencies where the distance between their… View this story

Kevin Young 08/21/09 03:53 PM,After Michael Prowda made the decision to get into live sound he never looked back. “I had no expectations at the time,” he said. “I just wanted to do it. It was like I was driven to be successful.” Based on that comment, it’s no great surprise that the Syracuse, NY-born monitor engineer counts running among his favorite off stage activities. He brings the kind of discipline and perspective to his work that’s essential to anyone who takes pleasure from… View this story9 Comments

The C200 HD will be used for live to Pro Tools production and post production for radio and television presentations of music performances. “We needed to replace our old analogue console,… View this story
