	Sound Reinforcement
		Some designers are known for their highly "natural" sounding shows, in which the audience is able to localize the sound source to the performers onstage and are blissfully unaware of the use of a sound reinforcement system.
		Most sound designers have his or her "specialty" system, and all systems have their own pros and cons, but all share one simple goal: to provide even sound coverage to the entire audience in order to effectively transmit the information in the show to every single audience member.
		The sound system design should reflect the intent of the sound effects— many designers use multichannel systems to allow the sound to "travel" through the theatre, and/or use a number of strategically-located loudspeakers to provide the illusion that a sound is coming from...

	ProSoundWeb \| Microphone techniques for live sound reinforcement pg.1
		For reinforcement of musical instruments, there are several main objectives of microphone techniques: to maximize pick-up of suitable sound from the desired instrument, to minimize pick-up of undesired sound from instruments or other sound sources, and to provide sufficient gain-before-feedback.
		“Suitable” sound from the desired instrument may mean either the natural sound of the instrument or some particular sound quality which is appropriate for the application.
		The majority of condenser microphones for sound reinforcement are of the electret type.

	Peavey.com :: Why Large Sound Systems Need to Go Vertical (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The best system (by another manufacturer) for large venues that I have ever heard is the ShowCo Prism system, which is arrayed four or five times taller than it is wide.
		When the system is arrayed vertically, it becomes one large line radiator that does a much better job of projecting a correlated sound field to the farthest seats.
		One mistake many sound engineers make, with systems large and small, is allowing their constant-directivity high-frequency horns to overlap too much in the horizontal plane.

	Sound System Etiquette - Part 1
		Rather, if the sound system of the church is designed right, the goal of the system is to reinforce sound where the natural sound drops off in sound energy.
		The whole idea of sound reinforcement is to reinforce speech or music in such a manor that it appear that the nature acoustics of the room are allowing you to hear without any mechanical devices.
		Others state that when the sound is natural, in a room that is properly diffused and the sound system has very low distortion, excessive sound levels are tolerated very well by the ears.

		A sound system becomes familiar to the operator after a short period of use, and complaints voiced by those with "fresh" ears are often regarded as unfounded.
		A great many mediocre sound systems can fall into this gap and still be viewed by their owners and operators as OK. As an industry, we must struggle against this easy acceptance and strive for excellence.
		The best way to start is by creating examples of excellent sound systems (you know, where reinforced voices sound the same as standing within eight feet of the person talking) and bringing prospective new clients to these venues to listen.

	Sound Reinforcement System, Speech Enhancement in public buildings and place of worship
		For far too long people have associated sound systems in public and civic buildings as "PA Systems", whilst this assumption is in fact technically correct, it fails to describe adaquately the exact type of end result we like to achieve.
		The correct end result is natural "sound reinforcement" of the spoken word which provides clear, intelligible speech reproduction.
		The second most important element of a good system is the choice of loudspeakers and their placement in the building.

	Andy Wilson, Live Sound Reinforcement
		Because sound is directed from speakers in somewhat the same way light is directed from a flashlight, this means that the loudest sounds are directed over the heads of the people directly in front of the speakers towards people in the back of the hall without being too loud for the people near the speakers.
		One of the key considerations with live sound reinforcement is that the sound engineer is reinforcing the acoustic sound coming directly from the instruments to the audience.
		In 2004 I ran the sound reinforcement system in the C# (C Sharp) main dance pavilion at Pinewoods Camp during the English Dance and Campers' Weeks sponsored by the Country Dance and Song Society.

	Multi-Channel Sound Reinforcement System
		The next step is to develop a left (or right) channel system design that if used alone, will meet the same accepted design criteria including coverage, output level, etc. If proper components are chosen, several of the center channel and opposite channel components can be easily used as distributed delay devices for the system.
		The key to system setup is to put a single input signal into one of the processor input channels, and set delays and levels as if it were a stand alone system.
		However, the primary limitation to this system is the time difference in sound arrivals from various primary sources at the extreme sides of the room.

	Sound Amplification Systems
		The loudspeaker provides more sound to the listener than would otherwise have been received, but it also produces sound at the location of the microphone.
		The microphone creates an electrical image of the sound which is amplified and used to drive a loudspeaker.
		When the feedback to the microphone is equal to the original sound input level, the gain can no longer be increased without an uncontrolled increase in output, usually in the form of a loud ring at one frequency.

		The original house sound system lasted until earlier this year, when an upgrade was sought.
		"The previous system is what would commonly be termed as 'beamy.' It was difficult to get a balanced sound where everyone was pleased, and we had to apply a lot of equalization to attain any sort of consistency," Sell explained.
		Several leading loudspeaker candidates were "auditioned" for the new system, and out of this process, EAW NT Series two-way powered (biamplified) loudspeakers were chosen as most suitable.
