Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, Inc. is heading to Chicago with the Application Edition for Sound Reinforcement/Live Sound training – part of the company’s ever-popular Audioversity program. The learning experience will be held November 3-5, 2014.
Yamaha has reformatted the program for a limited time. It will be held for three days and consist of three tracks, with each day focusing on a specific subject. Attendees will be eligible to receive CTS credits for each of the three-day sessions.
The Mixing Consoles track on Day 1 will focus on the latest in the Yamaha digital console family, the CL and QL Series. Subjects will cover the essentials of the two series, mixing techniques, tips and tricks, and a mixing lab offering attendees hands-on time with assistance from on-site specialists.
Attendees may choose the CL or QL Series track depending on preference. Learning material will be consistent in both tracks. These are unique courses for system techs covering Dante networking, Soundcheck Best Practices, Guest/User Management, and much more.
Day 2 focuses on building networking skills applicable for audio engineers. The day will start with fundamentals in the context of a common home network, and expand into features required for full scale Dante network provisioning and configurations. Participants will learn by doing with live demonstrations and interactive labs.
Popular and thought provoking topics include: Integrating Audio Networks with Existing IT Networks (Including WiFi points and Internet Access), Adding Dante to Existing Audio Networks (CobraNet/EtherSound), employing Dante as a clear, low-latency conferencing solution, using Dante for distributed audio or connecting overflow rooms, choosing network switches, WAPs, and other hardware for audio networks.
Day 3 will feature speakers and systems including product listening demos, applications, and the latest in design software. New NEXO products – the GEO M6 Compact Sound Reinforcement System and the versatile STM M28 loudspeaker will be highlighted along with various STM ground-stack configurations.
