EXPLORING SOUND REINFORCEMENT: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING PA SYSTEMS, APPLICATIONS AND OPERATION
A complete guide to basic Sound reinforcement on DVD. 2+ hours of real world help and information available for sound professionals, educators, and enthusiasts alike. This guide serves as a hands-on exploration of sound reinforcement, delving into various critical aspects such as:
THE EQUIPMENT:
Microphones: An overview of different types of microphones, including dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones, and their specific applications. Understanding pickup patterns, frequency response, and how to choose the right microphone for different environments, such as studios or live settings.
Mixers: A detailed look into audio mixers, including analog vs. digital options. Discussions about channel strips, routing, and effects processing to shape sound before amplification. Tips on mixing techniques to achieve a balanced sound.
Amplifiers: Insights on the role of amplifiers in a PA system, types of amplifiers (class A, B, AB, and D), and power ratings. How to match amplifiers with speakers for optimal performance and reliability.
EQ (Equalizers): Understanding how equalization influences sound quality and clarity. Types of EQs, such as graphic and parametric, and practical tips on how to use EQ to fine-tune the sound for different venues.
Effects: An exploration of audio effects like reverb, delay, and compression. When and how to apply these effects to enhance a performance, and the equipment needed to integrate effects into the PA system.
Loudspeakers: Differentiating between active and passive speakers, and factors to consider, such as power handling, frequency response, and dispersion patterns. How to select and position loudspeakers for optimal sound coverage.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
Setting Up The Equipment: A step-by-step process on how to efficiently set up and configure all components of a PA system. Practical tips on cable management and avoiding common pitfalls during setup.
Soundcheck: The importance of a thorough soundcheck and best practices for conducting one. Techniques for identifying and resolving issues with the sound before the audience arrives.
Monitoring: Understanding the significance of monitoring in live sound, including the role of stage monitors and in-ear systems. How to achieve the right balance for performers while minimizing feedback.
Acoustic Duo: Specific considerations for setting up sound reinforcement for smaller performances, such as an acoustic duo. Tips on microphone placement, acoustic treatment, and achieving a natural sound.
House Of Worship: Tailored advice for sound reinforcement in religious settings, including the unique acoustic challenges such environments present and how to create an engaging audio experience for congregants.
Concert Stage: Strategies for large-scale events and concert scenarios, including large PA setups, stage layout planning, and logistical considerations for different types of performances.
This practical guide to sound reinforcement is not just a theoretical overview but a comprehensive package filled with real-world examples, making it invaluable for anyone looking to enhance their understanding and operational skills in sound systems.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
