Line Array Rigging & Practice

When?

Next course: Date TBC

Who?

This course is aimed at the more experienced sound and systems engineers wanting take on practical responsibility for line array system rigging and tuning.

What?

This course teaches the practical skills needed to install and tune the leading sound system solutions from d&b audiotecknik. We will cover everything you need to know in order to understand the installation and alignment of Line Array Speaker Systems. This course will be highly practical including physical rigging, systems build and listening tests. Bring your steels! We will be looking at worked examples and case studies of a range of audio solutions.

We will be practically using the following systems:

• d&b T Series*
• d&b Y Series*
• d&b V Series*
• d&b J Series*
• d&b D Series Amplifiers

(*Systems are covered subject to availability, not all systems will be covered on every course. Typically students can expect hands on experience rigging and tuning atleast two of the above).

Agenda

You will learn how to:

• Rig and fly d&b T, Y, V and J Series speaker systems.
• Use d&b D series  amplifiers.
• Design and implement Cardioid Sub Arrays (CSA).
• Consider outdoor rigging systems.
• Obey system coupling and alignment rules.
• Measure and align systems in-situ using best practices and acoustical measurement techniques.
• An introduction to TuningCapture.

Prerequisites

This will be a practical hands on session relying on the platform of the ‘Line Array Theory & Design’ course. Unless you have had a good deal of exposure to d&b modelling and design concepts already we advise that it would be beneficial to follow the Line Array Theory & Design course before embarking on this practical session.
