Core Principles of Audio Seminar Course Overview
All buildings need a good foundation.
In this enjoyable and information-packed seminar, you’ll acquire knowledge that is
essential for working with sound systems. Important subjects such as microphone selection
and placement, 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 sound problems before they occur.
Most sound problems come from overlooking the "Core Principles Of Audio".
A video describing the course and self examinations tests will be coming soon. Please check back.

Seminar Highlights |
General "In The Trenches" Theory
is a practical overview of the decibel,frequency, wavelength, phase, polarity, and other general principles needed to be conversant in audio. Plain English explanations and analogies get you up to speed quickly.
|
Components and Signal Flow
covers the things all sound systems have in common. This section is essential to understanding advanced topics such as equalization, grounding, and gain structure.
|
Mixer Boot Camp
is an overview of the stages of a mixer, and how to optimize and use them effectively. These principles apply to all makes and models, from the simple utility mixer to a multi-channel desk. We also contrast analog vs. digital mixers, examining the pros and cons of each. |
Signal Processing
From channel strip EQ to compressors and limiters, learn how to use signal processing to make systems work and sound better |
|
Microphones
The important characteristics of microphones are easily heard with our headphone listening system. You will never have to ask "Where do I place the mic?" again. A wireless in-ear monitor system is used for listening demos. |
Troubleshooting the System
Quick fixes and work-arounds for the most common sound system problems, including feedback, hums and buzzes. |

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!
