As a musical genre, Funk has its roots firmly embedded in jazz. Funk incorporates many elements of jazz alongside soul and earlier African-American styles of music. Following on from the immense ...

Calculate distributed speaker transformer taps, total amplifier load, reserve headroom, wire voltage drop, current draw, and equivalent impedance for 70V audio lines. Use these presets as starting ...

Turn Fs, Qts, Qes, and Vas into a practical enclosure plan with sealed box volume, Fc, F3, EBP, and a port-length reference that actually matches the driver data. Use this for driver basket, brace, ...

Bluegrass dates back to around the time of the Second World War. It evolved from what is called ‘string-band ‘ music that pre-dated what came to be known as Country Music today. String-Bands as you ...

A dulcimer is a stringed folk instrument which basically comes in two different varieties: the hammered dulcimer – which has strings stretched over a sounding board with a trapezoidal shape, generally ...

Tip: Add 6 dB headroom for dynamic music peaks and avoid sizing the amp right at the minimum. Tip: Use sensitivity at 1 W / 1 m, then allow the distance and load settings to do the rest. The impedance ...

Calculate resistor values, output level, and power handling for passive pads used on line, mic, headphone, and speaker audio signals.

This first extract is taken from a 2015 performance called ‘Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II’. The remarkable achievement here is that the music is performed live to the cartoon that plays on a gigantic ...

Tip 1 — Box Volume Starting Point: For a well-damped bass reflex alignment, start with Vb = Vas × (Qts / 0.38)^3. Drivers with Qts between 0.35–0.50 work best in ported enclosures. Drivers with Qts > ...

Measure the gain change needed to hit a loudness target, then check true peak headroom for streaming, broadcast, podcast, film, and music delivery.

Over the years of working on Liszt’s substantial catalog of piano music, my somewhat harsh judgment has been tempered towards the fact that Liszt was not only a virtuoso pianist but a composer who ...
