Too many good folks have been separated from their hard earned money by hyperbolic claims about loudspeaker wire. There will always be people with more dollars than sense, but they don’t last very long in professional audio. I speculate there aren’t many (if any) of you who would pay thousands, or even tens of dollars per foot for speaker wire. A very basic practice in merchandising is called differentiation. Marketers must come up with reasons for why you should buy…

However, I came upon a term which I’m sure is such common knowledge that I’m sure my question really shows my ignorance. What is “tinning”?

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: Despite my experience within the A/V industry (I wont say how long it’s been), I’ve never quite gotten the hang of everything. Admittedly, this is because I’m a bit more of a video expert, but I’d like to remedy that. So, I wanted to get clarification on a few things. The largest (and perhaps most important) being, how do I choose the correct gauge of wire for speakers? A: Selection of the appropriate wire gauge…

I’ve just fielded a call from someone in direct contact with the sound team regarding the alleged “sound system failure” last night on the Aerosmith/ZZ Top tour during its stop in Sturgis, South Dakota, where a series of events led to Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler injured and transported to a hospital after falling off the stage. The Associated Press wire report on the incident - picked up by news outlets around the country - begins: “Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler…
