Basics of Sound Reinforcement

Catalog description

This course provides students with a hands-on lab setting which presents professional techniques of all aspects of the sound system control and configuration. It includes, as part of its requirements, the production of a live media performance as well as the theoretical understanding of system design and implementation. Students will review case studies in sound system design from a stadium installation to a podium microphone for a small meeting. Students will learn to work quickly and effectively under the pressure of live performance and develop the ability to be functional in such interdisciplinary media settings as is found in live sound engineering.
