Live Sound Seminar Details Saturday, May 17, 10:30 — 12:00
L1 - DEMYSTIFYING AUDIO
Presenter:
Ralf Zuleeg, d & b
Abstract:
This session describes the principles of acoustics from the wavelength to the properties of a good loudspeaker. The session is spiced with demonstrations and experiments to make it easy to digest the information.
Saturday, May 17, 12:15 — 14:30
L2 - LINE ARRAYS
Presenter:
Ralf Zuleeg, d & b
Abstract:
This is a session about the principles of line arrays and describes in a non-mathematical way their behavior. This unique style of explaining the physics makes it easy to adapt the theory to the real world. Demonstrations will round this session up.
Saturday, May 17, 15:00 — 18:00
L3 - MIXING CONSOLES
Presenter:
Ruben van der Goor
Abstract:
The digital mixing console as the center of a PA audio system. Under this headline theoretical and practical aspects of system EQs, room alignment, sound creation, signal processing, and applications of VCM technology will be explained as well as analog and digital pros and cons with live demonstrations.
Sunday, May 18, 09:30 — 13:00
L4 - CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Presenters:
Wolfgang Feß, Klotz-a.i.s
Norbert Nachbauer, Neutrik - Schaan, Liechtenstein
Abstract:
This session describes in a wide range the structures, materials, and application ranges of cables used in PA systems (copper - balanced, unbalanced; fiber optic - single mode, multi mode, a.o.). Parameters that have determining influence on the characteristic impedance of copper cables will be pointed out as well as an overview being shown about typical audio, video, and data applications and the required cables (analog, digital, data, antenna, etc.). Audible effects will be demonstrated.
Sunday, May 18, 14:00 — 18:00
L5 - LIVE MIXING WORKSHOP
Presenter:
Gregor Zielinsky, Sennheiser Electronic Corporation
Abstract:
• How to record percussion
• How to get a piano loud
• How to get highest sound quality from a guitar
This session presents a live sound check with a band including In Ear Check Live on Stage. Similar workshops have been presented in many places worldwide, e.g., at AES conventions in Barcelona and Vienna, a.o. The focus this time will be on playback sound quality by loudspeakers for drums, guitar, and piano. The drum sound, especially, is probably the most ambitious—live or in the studio. A team of experienced presenters will show many professional tricks.
Monday, May 19, 09:30 — 12:00
L6 - FROM RIDER TO SHOW, PART 1: LOGISTICS
Presenter:
Eberhard Müller, Neumann & Müller - Hamburg, Germany
Abstract:
• About the rider
• How to choose the correct equipment by using a software program
• How to calculate within a given budget
Monday, May 19, 13:00 — 17:00
L7 - FROM RIDER TO SHOW, PART 2: LIVE MIXING EVENT
Presenter:
Eberhard Müller, Neumann & Müller - Hamburg, Germany
Abstract:
• Stage set up, calibrating
• Microphone set up and sound check
• Show
This session includes practical demonstrations with a jazz combo (piano, percussion, guitar, bass, vocal) and is presented in combination with an OB-Van. Attendees can move between auditorium and OB-van to calculate the different sound patterns.
