What is Potential Acoustic Gain
Amount of gain a system can achieve before feedback
When is a sound system considered to be sufficient in providing adequate SPL without feeding back
When PAB is less than or equal to NAB
How does Changing the distance between the source and the mic affect acoustic gain
Dbl Dist lose 6 dB
1/2 dist gain 6 dB
How does the number of open mics on stage affect acoustic gain?
Dbl mics lose 3 dB

More mics less acoustic gain
Descibe 5 ways we can improve gain before feedback
1. Use as few mics as possible
2. Mic as close to the source as possible
3. Mic and speaker Directionallity
4. Place speakers as close to listeners
5. Maxmize the dist from speaker to the mics
What is Electromagnetic Interferance
Hum and Buzz
In what 4 ways is emi transmitted or introduced into a system
Magnetic and Electric field Coupling
Electromagnetic Radiation
Common Impedence Coupling
What are some ways we can reduce the levels of emi
Shield Isolate Twisting Balanced and seperate audio from power
Give me two examples of ISOLATION
Transformers
Fiber
Optical
Explain how a balanced differential input is able to reduce emi
Common Mode Resection
What is the most common system used for technical ground
Isolated Star Ground
What is the pin 1 problem
Pin 1 is tied to ground
What is the solution for the pin 1 problem
tie pin 1 to chasis ground
What is the maximum recommended length for a unbalanced cable run
10FT
What are 3 primary factors determining loss in speaker cable runs
Length, Load, and Gauge
What is Reactance
Freq Depend Resistance
How Does reactance affect a speaker cable
Freq Response
What does the 5 % rule state
Cable resistance should never extend over 5 %
