Who Should Attend?

This is core material for anyone involved in sound reinforcement.
It covers the essential principals. Many attendees are seasoned pros. They have told us that this course has filled important gaps in their audio knowledge.

First let me congratulate you for providing such a professional workshop. Your skills in this area are unsurpassed and greatly appreciated. Pat's ability to reach a diverse audience with all types of backgrounds and educational levels was impressive.

As an operations manager your seminar put to bed a lot of the myths and what I call "voo doo" of sound technicians.

Thanks for all the 'sound' informaton and a job well done!

Sound Reinforcement for Operators
Course Overview

A sound system is only as good as the operator.

In this enjoyable and information-packed seminar, you'll acquire knowledge that is essential for operating a sound system. Important subjects such as microphone selection, mixer setup, and signal flow are extensively covered. The emphasis is on the practical rather than the theoretical, using real-world explanations of potentially complex subjects. Multimedia listening demonstrations drive the points home and convey a level of understanding that will help you head off problems before they occur.
