The Conservatory’s 6,000-sq. ft. live sound classroom was recently upgraded with a JBL Vertec line array, a standard in the touring industry. The 12 4888 Vertec cabinets are powered by 8 Crown Macro-Tech 5002 amplifiers and are complimented by JBL subs powered by four Crest 8002 amps. Live sound engineer Robert Scovill is creating an exclusive curriculum that will allow students to certify in setting up the Vertec array.
"David Sheirman, Director of Tour Sound Markeing at JBL was instrumental in bringing the Vertec rig here to the school," says Administrator Kirt Hamm. "Having our students certified in setting up the #1 line array in the touring industry makes them that much more able to compete in the world of audio."
The JBL rig is part of the Conservatory’s recent expansion into its new purpose-built Gilbert location. The new location allows the Conservatory to serve over 800 up-and-coming audio professionals each year.
