Thursday, October 18, 2012Subwoofer Arrays: Discussion & Analysis Of A Variety Of Bass Coverage Patterns
Jeff Berryman 10/18/12 01:46 PM,We often describe bass as non-directional. This is because we’ve learned that loudspeakers much smaller than the wavelengths they’re radiating are normally non-directional, and we know that bass wavelengths are long - 20 feet at 55 Hz, for example. In reality, bass is just low-frequency sound that obeys the same rules as sounds of other frequencies. In these rules, all dimensions are proportional to wavelength. For bass, practical directivity issues arise because the wavelengths involved are so large. Some… View this post

When Old Becomes New: Hearing Loop Assisted Listening Systems
Gary Zandstra 10/15/12 12:22 PM,It’s always interesting when old technology becomes new again. We see it daily in our lives, but I’m referring to a specific type of old tech: hearing loops. The technology, which is correctly known by the name of inductive loops, has been in existence for decades. Based on Faraday’s law of induction, a magnetic field is created and individuals that have a Telecoil (t-coil) equipped hearing aid, can receive audio signals directly in their hearing aid. A “loop” is a… View this post
