Tuesday, April 28, 2009Changes Are The Only Constant In The Marketplace For Wireless System Spectrum
Mike Wireless 04/28/09 02:18 PM, 1 CommentMany of us have heard about White Space Devices (WSDs) and that they have been named TV Band Devices (TVBDs) - maybe because “WSD” sounds a little too close to “WMD”. And perhaps some of us are aware that according to the FCC, these devices will co-exist with our TV broadcasts AND our wireless microphones in the UHF band between about 500 and 698 MHz.

Friday, April 17, 2009Feedback: A Big Necessity In Developing Quality Live Mixing Skills
James Cadwallader 04/17/09 10:09 AM,A few nights ago, I attended the gig of a friend of mine who plays guitar. He’s a great player and a pretty cool guy. Sound-wise, there was a lot of stage wash that helped make the room sound muddy, and the house mix wasn’t doing much to help bring some presence and clarity to the whole picture. I took a peek at the console and was glad to see the main fader at unity, though the submix faders were… View this post
