Hi all,
Attached below is our video to correlate with the post’s topic of gain structure. While there may be, a virtually endless supply of reading materials out there, if you’re like us, we enjoy quick videos that hit key points, spurring our interest to investigate, learn, and explore on after the fact.
To simplify the explanation of gain structure in our audio system; it is the balancing of audio signal level from source input (a mic, DI, etc.) to system output (the speakers) to achieve the maximum signal to noise ratio. This gives you optimal gain for you to manipulate, throughout your system, giving you the right amount of gain, so that you are not having to make any drastic adjustments at any point in the signal chain to make the signal much louder or softer. There are more considerations to make in achieving this balance, such as: enough PA for the space, proper mic technique and/or source output level, etc. For more on these topics, please see our other blog posts.
