    image
    PSW Staff 05/14/13 11:50 AM,
    All hours night clubs, warm summer evenings, and long Adriatic beaches are a potent combination, throw in high octane musical entertainment and the cake is baked. The Noa Beach Club at Zrće on the island of Pag is just such a place. Owners Ivan Jokić and Zlatko Balaško have worked hard to make the club stand out amongst the many others clamoring for attention along the northern Croatian coastline. “Noa is quite young, 2013 is our third year. What we… View this post

    How Do You Know What Sounds Good?
    image
    Karl Winkler 05/13/13 04:41 PM,
    Most of us feel that we know good sound when we hear it. We also have tools to help us analyze the properties of sound, and we’ve learned to interpret those measurements and equate them with good and bad. But I find it fascinating that sometimes even when things measure “poorly,” we say that it sounds good anyway. Or, conversely, sometimes the measurements look spectacular but “there’s just something wrong.” The challenge is defining what actually constitutes “good” sound, and… View this post

    Tools of the Trade: How Boundaries Affect Loudspeakers
    loudspeaker boundary
    Pat Brown 05/07/13 05:16 PM,
    It’s nearly impossible to mount a loudspeaker in a room without placing it near a room boundary. Some logical questions arise: 1. Does this affect the response? 2. Is the effect good or bad? 3. Can I use the boundary to my advantage? 4. Will treatment help? And, can room boundaries be a “tool of the trade”? Space-Loading Space-loading loudspeakers means that the otherwise spherical radiation is limited by a boundary or boundaries. Some common scenarios are shown in Figure… View this post

    image
    PSW Staff 05/03/13 09:21 AM,
    When Holland, Michigan’s Central Wesleyan Church celebrated its 115th anniversary and paid off the mortgage on its current worship center, the church’s leadership team immediately knew what their first project should be: acoustic treatments and a new sound system for their 2,800-seat, fan-shaped main sanctuary. After a careful search for the right systems consultant, the church hired Dallas-based Acoustic Dimensions, which created an equipment specification for the space built on L-Acoustics’ KUDO platform. According to Central Wesleyan Facilities Manager Dwayne… View this post

  • Keeping It Focused: A Showcase Of Recent Column Loudspeaker Applications
    loudspeakers
    PSW Staff 05/02/13 01:14 PM,
    Although they’ve been around for decades, line source (“column”) loudspeakers have enjoyed increased popularity due to recent upgrades in technology. With a slim physical footprint that addresses aesthetic concerns, they’re an attractive option in many applications, particularly in highly reverberant acoustic environments, offering minimal vertical coverage above and below the enclosure and coherent sound (particularly in the vocal range). This can be achieved passively or in tandem with DSP that offers further tailoring of coverage. Let’s have a look at… View this post
