KAM RZ12A ACTIVE SPEAKER

Product Information

This brief discussion of three of the main challenges I encountered in utilising participation in musical ethnographic research indicates that employing such a research methodology requires consideration of many complex and interwoven factors. However, I hesitate to suggest that these challenges are necessarily “constraints.” As I have shown, it is certainly possible to overcome these and other difficulties in participatory research. Moreover, the process or result of overcoming these factors often leads to insights or actions that can be instrumental in the success of the research project. For instance, the challenge of learning to speak Kam was a process that also built positive relationships; the challenge of learning from my friends about Kam cultural norms helped me to gain a great deal of knowledge about Kam culture and language; and the challenge of positioning myself within Kam communities led to me joining with my friends and teachers in many different kinds of daily village activities, enabling the kinds of invaluable insights into Kam music-making that could only arise through direct experience and through positive, equitable and long-lasting relationships. If you already have everything you need for making music, you have recorded your set and you are ready for the big stage, KAM studio, DJ and audio equipment will likely be next on your list. Colonized peoples and other so-called subaltern populations live in an environment in which others insist on telling them what to do, rarely take the time to understand what they are already doing, and show little respect for their way of life. It is very easy for researchers to reproduce that pattern even while professing to respect the local traditions (Seeger 2008: 279) With a 35mm Pole Mount in the speaker, you can attach another speaker to create a full PA system from this one speaker! That's not all, the unique shape of the speaker allows for horizontal placement when it is being used as a stage monitor. Kam RZ12A V3 Key Features:

Cultural concerns were another challenge in conducting this research, as I needed to learn the Kam norms of social and musical participation. Many ethnomusicologists have also recognised this kind of concerns.

As his [ sic] perception of the configuration of events changes, a researcher realizes that the process of learning about and adapting to life in foreign cultures is as much a breaking down of the categories and concepts he has brought with him as it is a recognition and realization of the most meaningful perspectives he can establish (Chernoff 1979: 20) My research within Kam communities has been ongoing since 2004, and has mainly involved communities in the Sheeam region (in Chinese, Sanlong 三龙), in Liping county, southeast Guizhou province. It has led to a number of single and co-authored publications in areas including not only Kam minority music but also its relationship to discourses concerning gender, the environment, research ethics, digital fieldwork, anthropological studies of ‘tradition’ and notions of intangible cultural heritage. The fieldwork and research have led to a number of publications, some of which are listed below: This discussion focuses on the issue of participation in relation to fieldwork in China. Drawing upon more than 24 months of musical ethnographic fieldwork in rural Kam (in Chinese, Dong 侗) minority areas of southwestern China since 2004, I describe the main participatory aspects of my research methodology. I look at three of the main challenges—linguistic barriers, cultural concerns and research positionality—that I faced while utilizing participation as part of my research, and describe some of the most effective ways in which I was able to turn these possible “constraints” into productive ends , writes Catherine Ingram.

Kam RZ15A V3 Key Features:Whether you're playing for a small crowd or in a huge, sold-out venue, it's important that you know that you can trust your speakers to provide you with clear and strong sound. Speakers from KAM not only transmit the sound you're making to the crowd, they also ensure that it is strong and clear, amplifying it so that everyone in the venue can clearly hear the notes you are playing. It's important that you don't sacrifice your sound quality, and when you buy speakers from KAM, you can rest easy knowing that you're doing everything you can to get the best sound during your performances. This Orthography is for Southern Kam as spoken in Rongjiang and was developed by the native speaker Ngo Van Lyong because he felt dissatisfied with the current system that can only be understood by a few hundred speakers and Chinese linguists. This system was also developed to represent his dialect of the language better which is why it doesn't have an exact 1 to 1 match with the Chinese official system. It is greatly inspired by the Vietnamese writing system but not all the same letters correlate to the same Vietnamese sounds. Thanks to its portable design and user-friendly operation the Kam RZ12A is suitable for a range of PA applications such as for DJs, musicians & karaoke, schools & colleges, buskers, public speakers, vocalists and singers.
