A number of revisions affecting every facet of the company’s operations both on and off stage were required, including debuting the 2020–2021 Season offerings in February 2021, with an attenuated three-production statewide schedule between February 5, and April 25, 2021. Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto, formerly the company’s lead-off October 2020 production, will not be performed; Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance will be rescheduled from November 2020 to April 2021; and the VO season will now begin in February 2021 with the change of a double bill featuring Francis Poulenc’s La Voix Humaine and Giacomo Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi performed in place of Jennifer Higdon and Gene Scheer’s Cold Mountain.

  • IN PRACTICE Transport/Tape, and These Are Luxuries Few of Us Can Afford with PCM-1610S and PCM- 1630S
    something we do not really need. Tandy make some inexpensive moulded 2 -way headphone splitter leads which can be rewired with a couple of XLRs to make reliable headphone socket -to -line driver leads -I have not always had the best of luck with home-made headphone -to- two-XLR leads, they seem to fall apart at the jack end after a couple of months. The best setting corresponding to our normal headroom practice was with the headphone output level set to around 3 o'clock (ie slightly below maximum) and the input levels to give unity gain overall in-to out. In the fullness of time I shall probably change a feedback resistor in the headphone output amplifier to reduce the gain, so we can operate the line -out with the headphone volume control set to maximum, which is easier to set consistently. These interfacing details will be nothing new to those experienced with the Sony PCM-Fl or 701, and although unbalanced, they cause few troubles. Metering is via horizontal fluorescent bargraphs, with 0 dB on the display corresponding to 2 dB below peak-bits (digital end-stop). A red over light tells you when you have gone over the top, and the 2 dB 'overlap' is very helpful in optimising peak recording level. Having the audio processing and tape transport in one box about the same size as a sophisticated R-DAT domestic video cassette deck (it weighs just under 12 kg) is much more convenient than lugging around a PCM-1630 and U- matic. With two DATs on a session one has automatically a full backup of A/D and D/A circuitry as well as tape - IN PRACTICE transport/tape, and these are luxuries few of us can afford with PCM-1610s and PCM- 1630s.

  • Digital Audio Systems
    Digital Audio Systems While analog audio produces a constantly varying voltage or current, digital audio produces a non-continuous list of numbers. The maximum size of the numbers will determine the dynamic range of the system, since the smallest signal possible will result from the lowest order bit (LSB or least significant bit) changing from 0 to 1. The D/A converter will decode this change as a small voltage shift, which will be the smallest change the system can produce. The difference between this voltage and the voltage encoded by the largest number possible (all bits 1’s) will become the dynamic range. This leads to one of the major differences between analog and digital audio: as the signal level increases, an analog system tends to produce more distortion as overload is approached. A digital system will introduce no distortion until its dynamic range is exceeded, at which point it produces prodigious distortion. As the signal becomes smaller, an analog system produces less distortion until the noise floor begins to mask the signal, at which point the signal-to-noise ratio is low, but harmonic distortion of the signal does not increase. With low amplitude signals, a digital system produces increasing distortion because there are insufficient bits available to accurately measure the small signal changes. There is a difference in the type of interference at low signal levels between analog and digital audio systems. Analog systems suffer from thermal noise generated by electronic circuitry. This noise is white noise: that is, it has equal power at every frequency. It is the “hiss” like a constant ocean roar with which we are so familiar.
