- Differences between cable wiring for different purposes, and the internal wiring of mixers, gates and compressors
- Midas Venice routing to groups and auxes, using the UPM as monitor, compared with EQ on the Midas MR32
- Panning and routing, then live sound with vocals on a Shure SM58 and with recorded music
- Klark Teknik DN360 and DN370 graphic EQs used to learn frequency ranges with music
Training milestones
- Insert cables made for specific analogue equipment and tested
- Signal routed to groups and auxes on an analogue console
- Frequency ranges identified on a graphic EQ using music
Next steps
The following week moves into live sound and ear training, equalising voices through the main PA.
