Many audio professionals and companies now embrace Ethernet-related technologies. Digital mixing consoles, snakes, and signal processors that make use of Ethernet capabilities are widely available.… View this post

How Do You Set System Gain Structure?
Chuck McGregor 06/07/11 01:43 PM,Realistically, audio signals at or near the noise floor of a system are not useful because the signal will not be significantly louder than the noise. Therefore, some minimum usable level must be assumed below which the electronic noise is considered objectionable. A signal to noise ratio of 20 dB is considered minimally acceptable for good intelligibility. For a high quality system 30 dB would be a better figure to use. Using this value, the range from this minimum signal… View this post

When Audio Worlds Collide: Sharing Technology Means More To Share
Bruce Main 06/07/11 07:44 AM, 0 CommentsSeveral years ago I was managing a touring sound company, and we decided to take a stab at contracting. Because our expertise was in large systems, we focused on big installations like stadiums. In those days, most sports facilities were being designed with 12-channel boards, wimpy amplification and loudspeaker clusters kindly called “flying junkyards.” We perceived a huge gap between what was being offered to the average sports fan and what we were consistently providing to other entertainment patrons at… View this post
