MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

Do you ever wonder how


sound is produced from
instruments like a guitar or
organ?

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

Or how sound is produced by


your car speakers?

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

Most of the amazing sounds we hear


every day are made possible by sound
amplification.

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

Sound Amplification
Refers to the process of
increasing the amplitude of an
audio signal.

This can be done through the use


of electronics such as amplifiers,
speakers, or sound systems. It can
also be done without electricity
through acoustical means such
as using a hollow body or tuned
pipe to amplify sounds.

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

Sound Amplification

The goal of sound


amplification is to make the
sound louder and more easily
heard by the intended
audience.

AMPLIFICATION/REINFORCING SYSTEMS

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

CHECKLIST FOR EFFECTIVE USE OF SOUND AMPLIFICATION/REINFORCING


SYSTEMS:

1. A well-designed sound-reinforcing system should


augment the natural transmission of sound from
source to listener. It should be properly integrated
with the room acoustics design to provide adequate
loudness and good distribution of sound. It should
never be used in lieu of good room acoustics design
because it will rarely overcome or correct serious
deficiencies, rather, it will likely amplify and
exaggerate deficiencies.

SYSTEMS:

2. Spaces seating less than 500 will seldom need a


sound-reinforcing system. Spaces seating 500-1000
may need a sound system, depending on the use of
space. Spaces seating more than 1000 will normally
need a sound system although it may not be used all
the time.

SYSTEMS:

3. The preferred type of sound-reinforcing system


always is the central system, in which a loudspeaker
or cluster of speakers are located directly above the
source of sound to give maximum realism as well as
intelligibility.

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

CHECKLIST FOR EFFECTIVE USE OF SOUND AMPLIFICATION/REINFORCING


SYSTEMS:

4. The other principal type of sound-reinforcing system is


the distributed system in which a large number of
loudspeakers, each supplying low-level amplified
signals to a small area, are located overhead. The
distributed system should be used only when the
ceiling height is inadequate to use a central system
or when not all listeners can have a line of sight to a
central loudspeaker.

SYSTEMS:

5. Avoid feedback of sound energy from loudspeaker


to microphone by careful location of microphones
out of coverage pattern of the loudspeakers.
Feedback is the regeneration of a signal between
loudspeaker and microphone which is heard as
"howling" or "screeching".

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan

SYSTEMS:

6. A sound-reinforcing system used only for speech


need not reproduce sound down to 63 Hz so avoid
the "bass costs only a little more" sales presentation.

MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM

SOUND SYSTEMS CRITERIA

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

SOUND SYSTEM CRITERIA:

1. SAS should properly transmit a wide range of


frequencies (32-12000 Hz) to maintain a correct
balance between fundamentals and
harmonics to achieve perfect tone color for
each musical instrument and to provide clear,
non-distorted sound.

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

SOUND SYSTEM CRITERIA:

2. SAS should provide a wide dynamic range, i.e.,


a pianissimo sound must be clearly audible,
and a fortissimo must be reproduced without
distortion.

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

SOUND SYSTEM CRITERIA:

3. SAS should be free from disturbing echoes or


feedback.

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

SOUND SYSTEM CRITERIA:

4. SAS should create a sufficiently low room


reverberation.

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

SOUND SYSTEM CRITERIA:

5. SAS should remain undetected. The illusion


should be preserved that amplified sound
comes from the natural sound source.

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

SYSTEM COMPONENTS:

Microphone
picks up the sound
energy radiated by
the source, converts
it into electric
energy and feeds it
into the amplifier

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

SYSTEM COMPONENTS:

Amplifier
increases the
magnitude of the
electric signal and
delivers it to the
loudspeaker

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

SYSTEM COMPONENTS:

Loudspeaker
converts the electric
signal into airborne
sound waves for
distribution to the
listeners

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan

LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM:

Central System
uses a single
cluster of
loudspeakers over
the sound source.
The preferred
type because it
gives maximum
realism
by: Ar. Mark Panaligan
MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM:

Distributed
System
uses a number of
overhead loudspeakers
located throughout the
auditorium. Realism
cannot be expected
from this type of system
but it does provide high
intelligibility if the room
is not too reverberant.
by: Ar. Mark Panaligan
MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM:

Distributed System
loudspeaker spacing (S)
ideally should be about
equal to room height
(H); however
is the practical spacing
limit for uniform
coverage

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM:

Stereophonic System
employs 2 or more
microphones adequately
spaced in front of the
performing area and
connected through separate
amplifying channels to 2 or
more corresponding
loudspeakers which must be
placed in the listening area in
same pattern as their
corresponding microphones.
by: Ar. Mark Panaligan
MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM

LOUDSPEAKER CLASSIFICATION

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

LOUDSPEAKER CLASSIFICATION:

High Level - raises the level


of reproduced sound very
high; central systems usually
belong to this group

Low Level - raises the level


of reproduced sound just
slightly; distributed systems
usually belong to this group
by: Ar. Mark Panaligan
MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM

TYPE OF LOUDSPEAKER

by: Ar. Mark Panaligan


MODULE 03: SOUND AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

TYPES OF LOUDSPEAKER:

Line or Column
concentrates most of the sound in a narrow
angular spread in the vertical plane and a
semi-narrow spread in the horizontal plane

Radial or Multi-cellular
concentrates most of the sound in a wide
angular spread in both the vertical and
horizontal plane
