Thursday, January 26, 2012Electronic Versus Physical: An Analysis Of Shaping Array Directivity
Joe Brusi 01/26/12 07:40 AM,Modifying the directivity characteristics of loudspeaker arrays through electronic delay has become increasingly popular. Whereas 20 years ago the only option was expensive dedicated digital delay units, and a few years later the original BSS Omnidrive was a luxury, the advent of inexpensive digital processing has changed the game. The design of complex arrays using a relatively high number of processing channels, as required to electronically modify the directionality of an array, is now affordable and widely implemented. However, virtual… View this post

Martin Audio MLA Boosts Brixton Academy For Chickenfoot In Concert
PSW Staff 01/25/12 03:48 PM,When Brixton Academy was built in art deco style during the cinema boom of the late 1920s, it was never expected to be hosting concerts for high-octane rock bands like supergroup Chickenfoot (led by former Van Halen legend Sammy Hagar). Ghosts of Brixton’s cinema past remain within this Grade II-listed building, and the bulging balcony facade has proved the downfall of many a sound system, returning the firepower off the stage and bouncing the sound waves back at the band.… View this post
