The purpose of this unit is to develop knowledge and skills in the use of sound reinforcement equipment at live events. The unit is designed to enable learners to apply the correct techniques necessary for reinforcing a variety of sound sources. Learners will be required to specify, plan and provide sound reinforcement suitable for live events, eg music, vocal, audio-visual events, etc.
This unit may be undertaken as a stand-alone unit, however it is most suitable for learners undertaking other sound production units who wish to develop their skills in sound for live events. Learners will also develop skills such as communication, planning, organising and working with others
On successful completion of the unit the learner will be able to:
1 Prepare for a live sound event. 2 Assemble, test and sound-check a sound reinforcement system. 3 Operate a sound reinforcement system for a live sound event.
