1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit1 Sound: Properties and Functions Technical Theatre I

1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit2 Introduction to Sound Acoustics is the science that deals with the production, control, transmission, reception, and effects of sound; the study of sound The students will learn the properties of sound and its applications in theatre Understanding sound is essential to sound design

1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit3 Properties of Sound (the Science) Sound is a vibration of a medium Medium – a material that transmits energy Speed varies depending on pressure, temperature 1129 ft/sec, 770 mi/hr in air, 4708 ft/sec, 3210 mi/hr in water 3.17 mi/sec in steel What we hear is based on perceived vibrations

1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit4 Measuring Sound Sound travels in waves (sound waves), which are transferences of energy via rapid changes in the density of a medium Sound waves are measured by speed, wavelength, amplitude, and frequency

1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit5 Measuring Sound (Wavelength) Wavelength (λ)– the distance between repeating units of a wave pattern; the distance from one crest to the next repeated crest, or one trough to the next repeated trough λ of a 10,000Hz sound –> 1.35 inches λ of a 188Hz sound –> 6 feet

1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit6 Measuring Sound (Amplitude) Amplitude – (A) the distance of the crests and/or troughs of a waveform from the neutral line Amplitude in sound waves is representative of intensity, or Volume (loudness) Volume is measured in decibels (dB, or deci-Bells), a logarithmic scale <85 dB is considered harmful <95 dB can cause permanent damage if exposed for prolonged periods <125 dB can cause instant hearing damage

1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit7 Measuring Sound (Frequency) Frequency – (f) the number of occurrences of a repeated event per unit of time; pitch Usually measured in occurrences per second, or Hertz (Hz) Human hearing is usually represented as being “20 to 20,” i.e. 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (or 20kHz) Our hearing is typically more like 22 Hz to 18kHz, and continues to decrease as people age

Frequencies (Do you hear what I hear?) 1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit8 440 Hz 1000 Hz 1500 Hz 2 kHz 4 kHz 8 kHz 14 kHz 15 kHz 16 kHz 17 kHz 18 kHz 19 kHz 19.5 kHz

1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit9 Adding Frequencies Adding two identical frequencies in the same phase reinforces the sound Adding two identical frequencies 180° out of phase cancels out the sound

1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit10 Adding Frequencies (continued) Adding two different frequencies results in a different frequency, reinforced in some places & cancelled in others

Timbre and Harmonics Few sounds are pure tones; most sound is made up of a combination of frequencies and amplitudes Timbre - /tam’-bər/ a quality given to a sound by its overtones (harmonics) Harmonic – a frequency that is an integral multiple of the fundamental 1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit11

Perception of Sound Distance – decreases the volume (the Inverse Square Law); air absorbs higher frequencies Loudness – humans hear 2k-4k Hz best, thus this range is perceived loudest Masking – one sound obscured by others; lower usually masks higher 1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit12

1/27/2016Tech I Lighting Unit13 Functions of Sound in Theatre Sound Effects – (FX) used to illustrate ideas in a play or establish ambience, i.e. radios, explosions, trees rustling in the wind, crickets at night, sounds of machinery in a manufacturing plant Underscoring – music used to establish or reinforce mood Live Reinforcement – microphones used to boost the loudness of existing sound(s)

1/27/2016Tech I Sound Unit14 The Path of Sound Source – can be live or pre-recorded Microphones, pick-ups, synthesizers Or CD, tape, MD, mp3 or other computer file type, record, etc. Amplifier – adds power to source signal, boosts mic, instrument, or line level to speaker level Processor – can affect signals with effects or ehancements Output – either speaker or recording device
