Some Basic Sound Production,
Science and Magic from MystiQue Sound Production Mn.
Have you enjoyed a large concert or
festival event in the last several years? If so you have probably had the
pleasure of hearing a higher quality production. The question that needs to be
asked is how did we get here. How did sound companies excel and conquer the
current 'best practice' in large–scale PA? How have they evolved, in the past years and
how did we go from there to here.?
In a nut shell we have become more adapt at slight changes in our environment. When you are mixing audio for events at any number of different venue types you become sensitive to changes.
This was not lost on the engineers
that have brought you Live event PA systems.
From where an audience member is
sitting to the types of materials the venue is constructed of all play a factor
in volume and clarity. By making adjustments in PA system speaker direction you
can greatly enhance (or the in some cases destroy) a listeners experience.
So the most
important thing is to point the loudspeakers at the people in the most direct
way possible. At the same time, consider how much sound is being 'sprayed' onto
the walls and ceiling. The audience will absorb much of the sound energy that
strikes them, meaning that it won't be reflected to bounce around the
auditorium and cause confusion. But the walls and ceiling are very likely to be
reflective, so the more sound that goes in these directions, the more
mush–inducing reflections will be created. Sounds simple right? It may seem
simple but this general theory is ignored all too often.
We could go into a
scientific explanation of how sound works in relation to distance, wattage etc.
but safe to say modern PA systems have come a long way and the beneficiaries
are the public (it saves their hearing) and the engineers as they no longer need
as much gear to fill a room with quality sound.
