It’s time to talk about documentation – what manufacturers need to tell us about their products, and what we need to tell our customers about the systems we sell them. This time around, we’ll focus on what manufacturers need to tell us. Back in 1996 I wrote, “Over the past ten years, we have observed with dismay an ongoing “dumbing down” of product data sheets, with the result that many important specifications are not available to the designer or prospective purchaser. There has also developed an increasingly neglectful approach to service manuals. Read more »

Most loudspeakers used in sound reinforcement have some sort of Pattern Control Element (PCE – a new term I just coined and will use for the remainder of this article.

If this is a coffee shop where a bunch of audio folks hang out and talk about what they are working on, I’m the guy sitting over in the corner, mostly just soaking up everything that gets said. I think my understanding of audio increases by about 3dB per week by just sitting here soaking it up. It’s a community that has been worth the price of admission.  :-)
