Studio monitors are loudspeakers that are specifically designed for professional audio production applications, such as recording studios, filmmaking, television studios, radio studios, and project or home studios. They are essential in places where critical decisions regarding sound reproduction are crucial.

Sound Proof Drywall Presentation: Turn noise into heat, which you can't hear....Ray Bakker ✔
This presentation shows how sound engineered wall panels stop sound by the use of visco-elastic polymers – which convert sound waves. Yes, they changes noise into heat.
Sounds unbelievable, but that’s science hard at work. This product has millions of square feet of installation behind it, is lab tested and field certified.
This technology not only allows for the easiest manner in which to reach building code STC ratings, but is cheaper than all other methods and it doesn’t fail.

2. Understanding Loudness
Sound Pressure Level
The definition of dB SPL is the 20 log of the ratio between the
measured sound pressure level and the reference point.
This reference point is defined as 0.000002 Newton's per
square metre, the threshold of hearing.
7. The Building
Why is the building acoustic so fundamental?
A reverberant Church with the world’s greatest sound system
will still sound like a reverberant Church!
Too much reverb can destroy a good sound.
Makes it unintelligible.
Reverberance is created by the source sound, so turning it up
will not fix the problem.
8. The Building
Level Drop Over Distance
Inverse square law says:
Surface Area is proportional to the square of the radius. Or…
6dB is lost each time we double the distance from the speaker
10m = 20dB loss / 30m = 30dB loss
What does this look like?
12. The Building
Why is the building acoustic so fundamental?
Diffuse sound is a consistent level throughout the building.
Need to ensure the direct sound is always higher than diffuse
Two remedies:
- Acoustically treat the building
- Add more speakers to increase direct to diffuse ratio
13. Speakers & Amps
Loudspeaker Design Fundamentals:
Dispersion & Pattern Control
Frequency Response
Power Handling
Reliability
14. Speakers & Amps
Dispersion & Pattern Control
We focus the acoustic energy of the speaker at the people.
Can only control the high-frequency dispersion (HF).
This will excite the diffuse field less, reducing reverberance.
15. Speakers & Amps
Dispersion & Pattern Control
Horn-loaded Loudspeakers
We use the speaker’s horn to
control
dispersion; this “acoustic lens”
restricts the projection of the
sound.
Line Source Loudspeakers
Use line length to control
vertical dispersion.
16. Speakers & Amps
Frequency Response
Smooth reproduction of sound across all frequencies
Don’t ask questions of a speaker that it cannot answer:
Big speakers go low = bass
Woofers and Tweeters - getting separation
17. Speakers & Amps
Power Handling
How much volume can we get out of the speaker system?
Maximum dB SPL capability.
Maintaining dynamic headroom of the speaker
Amplifiers and Processing to protect and limit
18. Speakers & Amps
Reliability
Not prone to failure!
Mechanical Tolerance:
- Voice Coil Temperature
- Cone Excursion
- Cabinet Structure
19. Mixing Desk
Finding the right console for your needs:
User-Friendly
- Must be easy enough for use by everyone
Specification
- Number of input channels and output busses
Analogue or Digital?
20. Everything Else!
The Icing on the Cake
Microphones
Cabling
Effects Units
Compressors & Gates
All will impact the final sound, but only once you have the other
layers set correctly.
21. Final Thoughts
Don’t Forget The People
You might have the best system money can buy, but you can
only amplify a great source (musician).
If the singing is out of tune, then you can do nothing
technically.
The equipment is only responsible for 50% of the overall sound
quality. The Engineer accounts for the other half.
