Church Sound: How To EQ Speech For Maximum Intelligibility
Chris Huff 02/06/12 11:36 AM,This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. Haven’t we all had stories of misheard words? It could have been a song lyric or you misheard your spouse? Maybe they mumbled a word or it just wasn’t clear what was said. This has been the cause for a few hilarious moments at our dinner table. The problem is unclear words are a distraction from the message. In the church environment, the pastor’s words must be clear. We can ensure… View this post

Thursday, February 02, 2012Church Sound Files: The Reason For “Bad Sound” May Not Be The Sound System
Pat Brown 02/02/12 04:27 PM,Many things around us are getting better. Computers are faster, televisions have more resolution, and dishwashers are quieter and more powerful than ever. But with all of our digital wiz-bang processors, technology has been unable to eradicate “bad sound.” Why is this so? This short piece is an attempt to shed some light on three possible causes, two of which have been completely unaffected by the technological revolution. The goal of most sound reinforcement systems is to deliver high quality… View this post

Friday, January 27, 2012Everything You Wanted To Know About Sound Level Meters (SLMs)
Tom Young 01/27/12 03:56 PM,A sound level meter (SLM) is a device used to make frequency-weighted sound pressure level measurements displayed in dB-SPL. 0.0 dB-SPL is the threshold of hearing, and is equal to 20uPa (microPascals). This correlates to what one would aurally perceive when in a deep cave or in a large anechoic chamber. Packaged as a single-function handheld test device, SLMs are intended to be held at arm’s length during measurements (to reduce the effects of the body on the measurements) or… View this post

Thursday, January 26, 2012Electronic Versus Physical: An Analysis Of Shaping Array Directivity
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

Wednesday, January 25, 2012The Old Soundman: Dealing With Indoor & Outdoor Venue Issues
Old Soundman 01/25/12 04:20 PM,Old Soundman, Yes, Stip! I occasionally run sound for a band that tends to play local hole-in-the-wall venues. Okay, we feel sorry for you, now move on! The “stage” for the band is always in one of 2 places: in a nice boomy corner, or, better yet, right in front of that brick or paneled wall. These are the times that try men’s souls! I guess you might be a female, so no offense intended. I don’t know what “Stip”… View this post

Friday, January 13, 2012Properly Cleaning Your Microphones
PSW Staff 01/13/12 11:43 AM,You’ve finally invested in a high-quality vocal microphone and your voice has never sounded better. Unfortunately, the keyboard player in your band decides he wants to use your mic during his featured rap. You cringe as he practically eats the microphone. You can barely watch as he encourages audience members to scream into the mic. Afterwards he returns your mic, still operational but considerably wetter and unhygienic. Microphones are subject to an inordinate amount of abuse, especially in live music.… View this post

Thursday, January 12, 2012A 20 Percent Chance Of What? Weather And Live Production Work
Greg Stone 01/12/12 12:08 PM,It’s the season when many head for indoor venues, leaving the “great outdoors” to winter hibernation. But for some of us, especially here in the southland, outdoor festivals are still the rage. Although the summer thunderstorms are long gone, bad weather of other types still poses a problem. While I’m addressing this missive primarily to the newcomers in sound reinforcement, it never hurts any of us to brush away the cobwebs and remind our brains as well. Regardless of the… View this post
