Monday, October 19, 2009Church Sound Application Profile: Highland Park Presbyterian Church, Dallas
Keith Clark 10/19/09 08:07 AM, 0 CommentsWhat makes for an optimum church sound reinforcement system? On the surface, the obvious answer is “good sound quality.” Yet anyone possessing a grain of systems experience knows the correct answer is much more complicated. First, how does one define “good”? It has so many meanings, all of them potentially correct (or not!). Besides, the effectiveness of a system goes way beyond the realm of the often-subjective issue of sound quality. For example, is the system designed to be operator… View this post

Wednesday, October 14, 2009Eliminating Troublesome Hum & Buzz Created By Electric Guitars
Bruce Bartlett 10/14/09 03:20 PM,You’re recording an electric guitar, or amplifying it through a P.A., and there it is: hum! This annoying sound is a common occurrence. Acoustic guitars fitted with pickups can have the same problem. Hum is an unwanted 60 Hz tone—50 Hz outside the U.S.—plus harmonics. If the harmonics are especially strong, the hum becomes an edgy buzz. Let’s take a look at what’s going on and how to fix it. First we need to review how an electric guitar works.… View this post

Wednesday, August 19, 2009A Widely Distributed PA In Paris To Bring A “Home” Message To The Masses
Kevin Young 08/19/09 10:01 AM, 0 CommentsIt’s hardly rare to hear the words “major motion picture event” applied to a summer film. Visually stunning or not, whether it’s the latest Hollywood biopic, all-star comedy or action adventure, the phrase is attached to big budget summer flicks so permanently and casually that we hardly take notice. In the case of director Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s environ-epic “Home”, however, that phrase actually rings true… Produced by Luc Besson and backed by PPR, a French holding company that specializes in some… View this post

PSW Staff 08/17/09 10:28 AM,Mackie describes the HD1531 as a “15” High-Definition Powered Loudspeaker System”. Yep, it’s got a 15” woofer, and it’s a three-way system, and it’s powered. Now what’s all this about being “High Definition”? I suppose I could try to explain it, but it might be easier if you just go here (pdf) and get the Mackie explanation. The ordinary every-day non-HD attributes of this powered loudspeaker include 900 watts of power with an 1800 watt peak. Power is divided 700/100/100… View this post
