Live Sound Reinforcement

Apply Now

Live sound reinforcement and engineering is the most crucial link in the chain that enables performers to present their art to an audience. The engineer at the helm of this link is the invisible performer, one who hopefully understands the nuance of the performance and has the requisite technical know-how to overcome the obstacles and impediments so that the performers and the audience have the best experience possible. The engineer is responsible to connect the performer, the space and the audience in a balance that is ideal.

It is an extremely challenging field, irrespective of the size of venue, the stature of the artist or the numbers in the audience. This line of work sees many people gaining an understanding of the requirements of the job while they are on the job and many lose out on the opportunity to grow because of being incapable of delivering consistently. Whether the deficiencies stem from a lack of understanding of the fundamentals, or of the protocols involved in executing an event or even from lack of awareness of the hierarchical nature of the team in an event; these deficiencies are what can damage the chances of advancing in the field of live sound reinforcement.

Through this compact 2-month intensive course, SACAC aims to help you navigate the waters of a live event production. The course has been designed with the intentions of introducing the student to the concepts of live sound reinforcement with the content being focused on building a practical workflow rooted in theoretical concepts. This basic to intermediate training module has been carefully designed so that the student can gain the understanding and develop the confidence to look at the micro requirements and deliver the macro.

  • Develop the ability to navigate through the in's and out's of mixers, analog and digital
