Tuesday, May 07, 2013Church Sound: Understanding Line, Microphone & Loudspeaker Signal Levels
Mike Sessler 05/07/13 01:35 PM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. The topic for this article came out of a very real conversation I had with my new audio volunteers. We got to talking about various signal levels that we deal with in the world of audio, and it became very clear that they had not yet been exposed to any of this nomenclature. I figured it’s entirely possible that some of you are unclear on what all these terms may mean as well.… View this post

Tuesday, April 16, 2013Eliminating Potential Trouble & Getting The Noise Out Of A System
Bill Whitlock 04/16/13 06:01 PM,“A cable is a source of potential trouble connecting two other sources of potential trouble.” The humor in this statement may be lost on those who regularly assemble sound systems. But a reality of sound systems is that a signal accumulates noise as it flows through equipment and cables. And once noise contaminates a signal, it’s essentially impossible to remove it without altering or degrading the original signal. For this reason, no system can be quieter than its noisiest link.… View this post
