Research Notes

For live concerts and acoustics at events, a PA (public address) is essential. Even if it's just a single announcement microphone, a PA system is built with a microphone and a speaker. This has evolved into the field of SR (Sound Reinforcement), where many studies have been conducted with the aim of achieving better sound by scrutinizing microphones, mixers, and speakers. It changes greatly depending on the sound field (the place where the sound resonates), PA equipment, and how the system is constructed. But is that all? From my own experience of operating thousands of concerts, I have experienced that the technique of handling the equipment and the measures taken to deal with the sound field can make a big difference. What is particularly important is the combination of FOH (front of house) = sound control in the audience seats and FB (foldback) = sound control for the performers. I mentioned that it was based on my own experience, but over the past 40-odd years, I have experienced many PA cases, and I have accumulated a mountain of successes and failures.
