From our specialists
Making the PA disappear: how theatre sound learned to be invisible
The best theatre sound system is the one the audience never notices. How designers moved from fixed left-centre-right zones to voices that follow the actor.
Bring AV in at concept stage, not after design freeze
Most of what goes wrong with exhibition technology is decided before anyone specifies a projector. Why we'd rather sit beside the designers from the pitch, and what changes when we do.
How to read a speaker spec sheet
Maximum SPL, sensitivity, coverage, frequency response: what each number on a loudspeaker data sheet tells you, what it doesn't, and how to compare two speakers fairly.
