Core Principles of Audio Seminar Course Overview

All buildings need a good foundation.

* This course is very similar to the Sound Reinforcement for Operators. We have changed the name to better reflect the seminar content.

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".
