3 Ways to Improve Audio Dialog on Your TV

You just bought that brand new 50 inch state of the art LED TV. The picture is fantastic and it includes all the newest Smart TV features. You get it home, plug it in and go through all the set up in the manual. You turn it on to watch one of your favorite shows or movies. The picture looks wonderful, but the sound is awful. The audio is garbled and the dialog is virtually impossible to make out. After fiddling with all the built-in audio settings you finally give up and either take it back or decide to live with it.

There are alternatives, some cheap and some not so cheap, which I will discuss in a bit but first, let's take a look at the root cause of the problem.

Why is TV Audio so bad

There are 4 main reasons for bad audio quality on today's TVs. Most of these have to do with what makes these TVs attractive in the first place. One of the marvels of today's LED TVs is how thin and light weight they are. Can you imagine hanging a 50in CRT TV on the wall? However, the thinness of the TV forces some major compromises in the quality and design of the speaker subsystem.

Small Speakers

First, the speakers are much smaller in today's TVs than in the older CRT TVs. The elements are

How Subliminal Audio Messages Help You Motivate Yourself To Exercise

Subliminal audio messages are messages that pass your conscious threshold. They may be viewed as covert messages because you do not consciously hear them. The subconscious mind on the other hand understands them, and is able to change your thoughts and feelings towards exercise because of their impact.

What they can't do

But, they can not change you unless you want them to. If you are not committed to exercising regularly, if you still plan on making excuses or just toying with the idea of exercising while all you will do is sit at home and read Reddit, subliminal audio is not for you.

The simple fact is that subliminal audio is recorded to help you deal with a lack of motivation when the exercise gets tough and muscles start to hurt, or when lungs start to burn during the long run. They are able to give you that extra push that you need.

Easily Create Quality Audio Products

A few years ago I was speaking at Stanford University event and one of the attendees who had heard me speak before approached me to ask if I would take over a speaking gig he had been scheduled to do the very next day, but now had a conflict and needed someone to step in!

Now that's a great way to get speaking gigs! The only problem was, his talk was billed as "How to Create Affiliates and Joint Ventures!" Well, okay, there were two problems. I didn't find out until ten at night the day before and had a full day of meetings the next day!

Oh yea, of course, I had no experience in either at the time, but the topics intrigued me. I had learned from my mentor to never ever turn down a speaking gig! So what was I to do but go home, Google Affiliates and Joint Ventures until I had enough information to bullet point an educationally packed Power Point Presentation!

Audio Visual Production - How To Plan a Successful Event

Anyone who has been responsible for planning an event knows that selecting the venue and planning the schedule is only half the battle. The perceived success of the event, whether it's a large business meeting, a workgroup retreat, a consultation, a sales event or a training session, depends on it running smoothly and making a lasting, positive impression on the participants.

Your event can't be a success without top quality content. However, content isn't enough. The technology needs to be integrated smoothly and seamlessly. Presentations, videos and recording methods have to work properly. The event should look good, as well.

Slideshows, graphical aids and videos need to be fully visible and audible to every member of the audience. All of the content - spoken and shown - should be easily accessible to offsite as well as onsite participants. Ideally, all of the content should be available for review at a later date, archived into a well organised, well edited electronic audio and video format online, or at least as a CD or DVD.

Minimising Risk

As an event organiser, you may very well be looking for ways to take advantage of internet-based audio and video communication for offsite personnel. You will almost certainly be looking for ways to minimise the risk of technical oversights and failures.

Is your staff up to the challenge? They are likely unfamiliar with the venue. Setting up and running event technology is not their main job. The equipment your company owns may not even be fully compatible with your most up to date computer and communications technology.
