Learning Objectives:
The course aims to provide you with the skills and confidence to operate multichannel wireless systems. The eLearning is a vital component of the course and will provide you with a solid basic theory that you will need to utilise during the workshops. You should allow a minimum of four hours total to complete the various modules. These modules can be completed step by step at your convenience. This needs to be completed before you attend the workshop. The practical workshops will consolidate the information from the eLearning and make it tangible. After passing this course you will be able to use the basics of physics to plan wireless microphone systems for particular applications and understand the specifics of wireless in-ear monitoring.
