The Properties of Coaxial Cable – Part 1 The Magnetic Field
Once the reader has considered "The Field," they are ready to reconsider how wires really work. Dr. Patronis presents the subject in Part One of a short series on electricity and magnetism.
Reality Check! Are like make / model loudspeakers consistent?
How consistent are production loudspeakers? Measured data is used to compare the responses of 12 units of the same make/model.
Integration Convergence and the Future of the World
Much confusion surrounds the use of these two terms. The 2006 Convergence Summit sorts things out.
Lessons from the RF Analyzer
The proper instrument can allow the unseen to become observable. Dale uses his HP RF analyzer to demonstrate some wireless mic issues that audio people must deal with everyday.
Impulse vs. Sine Sweep Response
What's the best way to get room data? Some advocate impulsing the room with balloons or starter's pistols. Others prefer using swept sine waves. Don sheds some light on this old argument with some reminders about each method's susceptibility to amplitude non-linearities.
The Electrostatic Field and Electrostatic Potential Relationship
This is the fourth of a series of articles describing the properties of coaxial cable.
The Conduit Transformer
This paper intends to show how a simple error in power
wiring geometry inside the conduit can create a transformer
which induces voltage on the ground wire. This can ruin an
otherwise well designed technical power and ground system.
Your First Measurement Rig…
Many first-time buyers of measurement systems are confused by the multitude of choices in the marketplace. This article will help you sort through the offerings and spend your money wisely.
Pseudo Stereo – When Stereo isn't possible or practical "spaciousness" may be an adequate substitute
When true stereo is not feasible or possible, “spaciousness” can be achieved with a relatively simple playback setup.
The Room Reverberation Time – RT
Modern measurement systems and Standards add both clarity and confusion to the determination of the reverberation time of a space.
