Foundations
COMPONENTS of A SOUND SYSTEM
Here we'll cover the main components that make up near all sound systems, what each piece does, and why it's used.
MIXING CONSOLES:
PART I
(Overview)
The ins and outs of an mixing console. What each knob, button, fader, input, and output does and why each are used.
SIGNAL FLOW
The basic plumbing of how to get a signal from the sound source to it's desired location, the mechanics of how it works, and how to set a proper gain strugture.
Physics:
part i
(Pressure Waves)
The real world physics that govern how sound operates as well as how we perceive it.
EQUALIZATION:
PART I
Why we use equalization, how and when to use an EQ, a frequency map for each instrument, EQing for different age groups, and ear training to recognize frequencies without the aid of external tools.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING:
Part I
An under the hood look at how much of the equipment we use actually works, why we us some components and not others, basic soldering techniques, and why it's important to understand how things work.
Interconnect basics
The many different cables, connectors, external devices, and when, why, and how to use each one, as well as the proper way to wrap cable.
Mixing Consoles: Part II
(Operation)
Basic operation of a mixing console, how to do a basic sound check with a band, and basic troubleshooting.
