Sound Reinforcement Equipment Requirements for a Music...

Good sound is the foundation of any music venue. Poor sound can ruin the audience’s enjoyment of the concert. Good sound enhances a concert, creates interest, and commands attention. So I’ll make a review of the most important gear of the Live Sound Equipment and it’s different types. So let’s start with the mics as they are the first source to pick up an acoustic signal and transform it into electrical, which will be driven down via XLR cables to the mixing desk and back to the PA system and the audience’s ears. This is only a very brief version of the signal path which you will realise when I get to the end of my report. The Microphones by their specifications have been used for different sound sources and always with one purpose as†¦show more content†¦These types of microphone give the performers the ability to be move more freely. The radio microphone contains three main components: an input source, a transmitter, and a receiver. The size of the antenna is related to the wavelength. Lower radio frequencies require larger antennas and higher frequencies smaller ones. Another important thing is that the distance between the transmitter and receiver should be kept to minimum. Figure 5 The Direct Box (Fig.6), also known as a DI (Direct Injection) Box, matches the impedance of an instrument to the input impedance of the mixing desk. The DI Box can be active or passive. The active one has a transformer and a circuit powered by batteries or the Phantom Power supply. The passive DI Box has only a transformer and provides no boosting of the low-level signals. The DI Box can be connected to any high-impedance instrument such as an electrical bass or synthesiser. But some instruments provide a balance-line output for direct connection to the mixing desk. Figure 6 The connector types depend on the connection types, and in the concert systems they are divided on unbalanced and balanced. An unbalanced connection is a two wire system. One wire carries the audio signal and the other is connected to the ground. The balanced connection is a three wire system. Two of the wires carry the audio signal and the third one is the earth.
