@mijostyn i was at a wireless mic workshop and the equipment manufacturer of the new digital transmitters was getting criticized because his microphones didn't transmit over 16k hz. They set this demonstration up in a theater that was rated to 20k...

@thespeakerdude A question about your audio philosophy. Speakers should be like microphones they should record and playback flat if there is an audio character to the microphone sometimes that's great and it helps the happiness of the final produc...

Also, I’ve only seen sound a couple of times both in about 2000 seat rooms for indoor concerts, a little to small for big systems but you have to set them up anyway because that’s what is in the trucks. When you have this situation sound checks ar...

I finely used Room Perfect on my ProTools system, It came out much better than I ever expected, those new Genelec speakers are much better than I ever expected, nice when that happens. When you set up your system then run  acoustic programs that ...

Small room acoustics is not science it’s an art when you consider the amount of refinement audiophiles expect in there finished product. This is a perfect example of the OP. There is so much myth and knowledge that is totally baseless in any sort...

@invalid i understand what you are saying but look at it this way, if you have a standard strawberry pie that everyone agrees that is how a strawberry pie should taste then you put extra strawberry flavor in your new pie that pie may taste better ...

@mijostyn, @thespeakerdude  I was a part some of the original acoustic research on line arrays when I worked with the new computer system that Crown made called TEF (Time, Energy, Frequency) our findings were just as thespeakerdude said. At first ...

For the last 4 days I've stayed up two nights rewiring and rearranging 3 sound systems in my home, my theater and both systems in my listening room. You guys have inspired me to make everything sound better.  I've come to the conclusion that I do...

@kota1 I need your help. I have 2x JL Audio Fathom f113v2 Subs and they hum, this is the worst thing about powered speakers. They have 3000W amps, I have spent a fortune in power 2x P20 power regenerators from PS Audio. The subs hum doesn't change...

@kota1 phasing sub and full range speakers is not difficult, just put you head exactly between the sub and the speakers, play and 80hz tone with all your equipment on and slowly turn the phase knob until you hear the null point and the strongest p...

Also, about diminishing returns when it comes to low frequency. The best system I ever heard was at Harmon headquarters in LA when I was doing playback for a music video and the location person who was an employee of Harmon showed me there big con...

I fully agree with @mijostyn. I used to work for a church doing sound that had the biggest electronic organ in the world. There were 4x 30 inch subs in separate cabinets on both the left and right sides of the main sanctuary the cabinets were not...

@mijostyn Very good points, especially about the AES inputs, I'll look into that. So I finally got everything working with my Genelec (analog speaker inputs) system and I was very happy even though the speakers have not been time aligned, I was p...

@kota1 Wow, I think you will be so happy with the Sony, Sony like Yamaha and other big companies can make very good equipment if they want to it's only a matter of approving the budget. Yamaha makes some of the best professional mixers ever. Why d...

@thespeakerdude When I started in sound we got to use a new technology called TEF (Time Energy Frequency) an acoustic computer made by Crown. It would show the acoustic reflections on the screen, we found that unless the speaker was next to a wall...
