Community Professional Loudspeakers
In the mid 1960s music was on the move. The growing "rock revolution," and the need to bring its explosion of new musical styles and messages to audiences around the world, demanded an evolution in the technology of touring sound: lightweight, mobile systems able to reproduce the depth and complexity of the music with absolute impact and clarity. Communication had become the critical factor in live sound.
Bruce Howze, a creatively inclined loudspeaker designer working in Pennsylvania with influential bands such as Jefferson Airplane, was keenly aware that 2-way sound systems based on equipment from movie theaters were no longer viable. These had unacceptable limitations in coverage, clarity, and portability, largely due to their massive size, weight, and the lack of midrange output of their loudspeakers, a result of their limited 2-way design.
Used Speaker Accessories
Speakers are generally output devices used by computer systems, and these usually have speaker accessories such as speaker hardware, cables, mounts, stands, etc. All speakersâ?? function amplify sound or audio output so it can be heard by other listeners easier. There are speakers that are built to work particularly with computers while there are those that can be linked to any kind of sound system device. The speakers function as transducers that transform electromagnetic waves into sound waves that can be heard by listeners. They receive audio input from source devices like the computer and with the use of speaker accessories the sound is amplified. Analog sound waves are converted into digital sound waves and are produced from digital speakers.
The speaker cables serve as connectors between the input devices and the speaker. Computers and other audio devices will need compatible cables to be able to connect with the speakers and produce amplified sound. The speaker mount are speaker accessories that act as support. They are needed to properly place and hold speakers so they can function properly. There are wall mounts and brackets for the ceiling. Different mounts are needed for different sizes and location for placement. The speaker stand is commonly used in surround systems and these are speaker accessories that help position the speaker devices efficiently. These are usually adjustable. The speaker rigging comprises the support system of speakers. Normally, if there is not rigging provided, the speakers are simply stacked on top of the other on stage.
