Pat Brown 03/25/11 10:15 AM, 0 CommentsLife is all about circuits. In hydraulic circuits, a pump forces a fluid to flow, such as water through pipes or soda through a straw. In pneumatic circuits, a pump forces airflow down a path, such as the air conditioning system in your house or the air hose that you use to inflate your tires. We all know intuitively that pumps produce a pressure and rate-of-flow of something. A path must exist for the flow to follow, whether intentional (electrical… View this story

Pat Brown 02/23/11 02:37 PM, 0 CommentsYou turn on the sound system and you hear a radio station. Now what? Let’s lay aside the ‘magic fixes” and “voodoo methods” and set forth a methodical procedure to deal with the problem. The key here is to “divide and conquer.” It is essential that the problem be localized to one part of the sound system. If more than one problem exists, these tests will help disclose that also. Start with simple tests and proceed to more rigorous ones.… View this story

Sam Berkow 01/28/11 10:25 AM,If one could listen to only the direct sound of a loudspeaker, the world would be a very different place! Unfortunately, free field listening, where you have no reflections, room modes or ambient noise, is hard to achieve in everyday life, so we listen to loudspeakers in real rooms. The interaction of a loudspeaker system and a room can be very complex to understand, model or measure! One way to measure this interaction is to measure the impulse response of… View this story

Pat Brown 12/06/10 02:00 PM, 0 CommentsThe human auditory system is equipped with two inputs - left and right ears. This “binaural” processing system provides us with the ability to localize where sound is coming from, something that a one-eared listener would have difficulty in doing. Playback systems may utilize any number of channels to surround the listener with sound, but two channels is always enough to simulate the human listener. Recording enthusiasts have long discovered the benefits of stereo microphones. While not necessarily “human-like,” they… View this story

PSW Staff 07/08/10 11:15 AM,If you step into a church or concert hall you often immediately recognize the sound, the signature character that helps give these spaces their impact and power. Now, archeologists believe ancient builders almost 3000 years ago were employing some of the same techniques. At Chavín de Huántar, a ritual center in the Peruvian highlands, advanced processing and Countryman’s B6 precision microphones are letting acoustic archeologists unlock the sonic secrets of a vanished pre-Inca civilization.
