    l-acoustics
    PSW Staff 02/07/12 04:04 PM,
    Orange County’s 40-year-old Galaxy Theatre changed ownership back in August and has now undergone a significant metamorphosis into two separate live performance spaces: the intimate 350-capacity Constellation Room and much larger Observatory, which can accommodate an audience of over 1,000. One of the primary improvements made to the venue in the process was the installation of L-Acoustics KARAi line source arrays provided by Certified Provider Rat Sound Systems of Camarillo, California. Jon Reiser, along with business partner Courtney Michaelis and… View this post

    Electronic Versus Physical: An Analysis Of Shaping Array Directivity
    image
    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
    martin audio
    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

  • d&b audiotechnik White Range Loudspeakers Meet Challenges At St Paul’s United Methodist Church

    PSW Staff 01/24/12 08:06 AM,
    St Paul’s Methodist Episcopal Church (presently known as St Paul’s United Methodist Church) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa is listed on the United State’s National Register of Historic Places and is essentially the work of architect Louis Sullivan, the so-called “father of skyscrapers.” Sullivan’s aspirations however, were high, beyond what the church’s congregation could reasonably afford back in 1912. The restraint exercised back then by architect W.C. Jones, when he re-drew Sullivan’s plans under instruction from the church, meant that two… View this post
