Ken DeLoria 04/18/13 06:01 PM,In the dawning days of audio, transformers played a vital role in the functionality of first-generation all-tube based electronic circuitry. It was circa 1920 and radio broadcasts for the general populace had just begun, generating a rapid rise in the demand for broadcast audio systems, all of which needed transformers to function. Later, as equipment for live sound reinforcement began to emerge, transformers again proved indispensible as the only means of matching microphone impedances to vacuum tube preamplifiers. Transformers were… View this post

Chuck Wilson 04/16/13 03:01 PM,When working with sound at church, we all know just how many things can go wrong.

Friday, April 12, 2013In The Studio: Recreate The Setups Of Classic Guitar Gods

Often you’ll hear producers requesting that… View this post
