Sennheiser launches Live Mixing Workshop

From 20-22 September, budding and established sound engineers can try their hands at setting up the audio aspects of a live concert.

The workshop will be held in English and will focus on elements including planning and setting up the public address system, miking and frequency manage­ment, and fine-tuning the monitor and FOH sound.

Sound engineers and event professionals will assist participants, while the band Rauschenberger will perform the live act.

The Live Mixing Workshop is organised by Sennheiser Sound Academy and supported by co-sponsor Yamaha, the SAE Institute and Fischer Amps.

‘What makes the Live Mixing Workshop so special is its practical orientation,’ said Kirsten Wessendorf, manager of the Sennheiser Sound Academy. ‘Of course, we don’t neglect the theoretical aspects, but anyone who has had the opportunity to plan frequencies themselves, or test different microphones for an instrument, is unlikely to forget what they’ve learned.’
