Seminars

Masterclaes® System engineering for FOH Mixers


Understand the system. Learn how to listen.


This program is designed for FOH mixers who arrive with their own console and showfile,

and need to make a PA system work for their mix


The program has two parts.


Online Fundamentals


The Online Fundamentals start from first principles and build up step by step.


You learn:

  • how systems behave

  • how to set up your session
  • how to listen

  • how to measure

  • how to make decisions


This part is about understanding.


Live Listening & Measuring Sessions


These take place in real acoustic environments.

Participants learn how a good system should sound, when things are right or wrong, and how to relate what they hear and see to the magnitude, phase and coherence traces in that space.

These sessions focus on listening and interpretation in context, not on software operation or system design.


You learn:

  • how a good system should sound

  • when things are right

  • when to stop adjusting


This part is about listening and interpreting measurements


WHAT YOU WILL WORK WITH


  • FOH vs System Tech responsibility

  • Listening as the main reference

  • Measuring polarity, phase and coherence

  • FOH console routing and using matrices

  • Using external controllers (Lake) with Smaart
  • Tuning mains, subs, fills, and delays

  • Low-frequency balance

  • Measurement tools (RTA, transfer function)

  • Tuning and knowing when to stop

  • Real-world workflow in venues


These topics are used to support decisions, not to teach software or presets.


STRUCTURE & TIMING


The Online Fundamentals will be available at the end of January.


The Live Listening & Measuring Sessions will be scheduled later,

in small groups and suitable venues.


The online part is recommended before joining a live session.


STAY INFORMED


Because I receive many questions, all updates are shared through one list.

Leave your details if you want to know:

  • when the Online Fundamentals are available

  • when Live Listening & Measuring Sessions are planned
