PART-TIME COURSE
Overview
This five-day training is a study of how we hear as an engineer and how to use audio equipment to best capture sound with any audio equipment available. It will include practical examples of microphone techniques, signal flow & gain structure, cables & connectors, loudspeaker placement, application examples and discussion on common issues faced with setting up and operating up of a sound system.
We will briefly touch on other topics like wireless systems, aux sends and monitor mixes, stage management & set up and people skills and workplace safety
Course Objectives
- Enhance technical outcomes in the audio production, including basic system understanding, operations and engineering
- Provide a basic understanding of engineering theory and its practice
- Enhance technical troubleshooting and problem solving skills
- Provide a pro-active skill set that can adapt to the fast changing requirement and needs of audio system setups
Learning Outcomes
- Identify, describe and explain audio fundamentals associated with signal flow, gain structure, microphones, loudspeakers, amplifiers, digital signal processing, setting up a sound system and basic mixing strategies.
- Explain and apply techniques in a manner that displays practical applications and real-world understanding.
- Demonstrate independent and creative engineering approaches to problem solving in the field of audio engineering.
- Develop skills and a critical understanding of audio engineering and its associated areas

Teaching Modes
- Tutorials will deliver a specific topic each week. The topic will consist of engineering theories, concepts and technologies in the field.
- Tutorials provide an opportunity to discuss and ask questions about the weekly lecture and topic for the course; reinforce concepts, ideas and explore experiences.
- Participants are required to be prepared to actively engage in discussion on the weekly topic.
- Hands-on training will sometimes contain presentations from the instructor, the training will largely be an opportunity for students to obtain assistance with their practical development, using the training to raise issues and solve problems.
- Finally, the hands-on training provide a forum by which students can begin to explore their own ideas and practice.
