microphones wired Wired microphones are the cornerstone of any sound system. Qualifying your customer’s needs and budget will start you in the right direction for microphone selection. Shure’s product philosophy is to provide good, better and best ranges for vocal and instrument microphones, starting with the “PG Series”, progressing to the “SM Series” and culminating with the “Beta Series”. For permanent installations for speech or conferencing uses, select from the Shure “MX Series”.

microphone wireless When freedom of movement is required a wireless microphone system is a must. They remove the tripping hazard of cables across a stage or floor and accommodate the ability to move amongst a group of people and share the mic, interview style. In conference type applications there are also wireless boundary microphones for boardroom tables which allow for rapid room configuration turnaround time or eliminate the need to drill holes in expensive boardroom tables.

mixers Mixers come in many shapes and sizes which are relative to the application. Live mixing consoles are larger in comparison to paging/BGM mixers which can fit in one rack space. Deciding on a mixer can be confusing so make sure you list your requirements and then allow that little bit extra to cover any curve balls that may be thrown. It is always better to have too much than not enough. Soundcraft are celebrating 35 years of mixer design, innovation and construction.

signal distribution Signal distribution is all about being able to route multiple source inputs to multiple zone outputs and provide remote control, from the very simple to the very complex. There are a number of ways this can be done, with small non-programmable mixers, fixed signal chain programmable distribution such a dbx ZonePro or SC Series.

signal processing digital These tools are the lifeblood of audio systems. From equalisation to compression, limiting and gating, from loudspeaker management to feedback suppression and crossovers; these tools allow the signal to be manipulated in many ways to achieve maximum system performance in the environment it is operating. Utilising combinations of these tools will provide the desired results relative to the application.

effects processing Originally designed to reproduce the natural reverberant sound of live venues to enhance the recording process; today effects are used to also enhance and “fatten” the sound of live reproduction. In addition to creating some pretty radical sounds to individualise performers, effects are always a great add-on for any live sound system.
amplifiers networkable Crown’s first amplifier was patented in 1949. In the 60’s the DC300 lead the way, the 70’s brought us the PSA Series followed by the Macro-Tech Series in the 80’s. The 90’s gave us IQ control and the turn of the century delivered the groundbreaking I-Tech Series. No other amplifier manufacturer can boast that their designs and developments have produced so many technological advances over such a significant span of time. Crown is the leader in amplifier technology.

speakers distributed James B. Lansing was the true pioneer of sound reinforcement, making his first loudspeaker in 1927. For 62 years JBL has been at the forefront of professional loudspeaker development and innovation. These innovations are still evident in products such as VerTec, VRX and the Control 40 Series ceiling products. Today, JBL is still the benchmark many others are measured by and rarely equalled on performance for price.

line array matrix Line Array. There’s one for everybody Line arrays are nothing mystical. The theory and the math of aligning arrays of multiple drivers have been around for more than half a century. Back in the ‘70’s JBL was already utilising line array technology in the 4682 loudspeaker enclosure. It was not until the ‘90’s that line array technology as we know it today was seriously experimented with.

audio networking Harman HiQnet What is HiQnet? HiQnet is a communications protocol or language with which all device-types within the full audio signal path can communicate. Co-developed and shared by elite engineers from all the brands within the Harman Pro Group, HiQnet merges the best features of all previous brand-independent communications protocols and thereby benefits from years of combined experience and is simultaneously optimised for all components of the full professional audio system.
Jands hardware/racks Jands are more than just a distributor; we have a fully equipped sheet metal shop that produces a large range of metal products. Racks, wall boxes, wall plates and stage boxes are all part of our standard range. Jands metal work can also manufacture custom metal products to suit a variety of applications. So, if you need custom work done give Jands a call to discuss your requirements.
communications wired systems Comms systems; as they are commonly known, are designed to allow technical staff within a venue to communicate discretely with each other during performances. Comms systems allow cues to be set and called to any lighting, sound or staging operator without disturbing the performance. Systems can be hard wired into a building or operate wirelessly for freedom of movement which can be extremely beneficial in outdoor performance or broadcast applications.
communications wireless systems Wireless Systems ClearCom FreeSpeak® Wireless Systems FreeSpeak® FreeSpeak® Integra FreeSpeak® uniquely blends digital matrix technology with a locally distributed wireless “network”. FreeSpeak® operates license-free in the 1.9 GHz frequency band, free of interference with other wireless products such as PCs, talent microphones, IFB and in-ear monitors. To this capability, the system adds broad connectivity to party-line and digital matrix intercom systems.

technical references Calculating Speaker Impedance Where multiple speakers are connected it is important to maintain the correct impedance so as not to damage the amplifier. Most multimeters only measure resistance - impedance is different. Resistance is the measurement of DC current and the resistance to its flow, impedance is the measure of the resistance to flow of AC current, which varies with frequency. Typically an 8 ohm nominal impedance cone speaker has a DC resistance of 6 ohm.
