Wireless transmission of audio is just one of the topics that students dive into while they’re on their 30-week stay at the Conservatory’s campus. Recently, Tom Salisbury of Sennheiser brought some of their latest wireless gear to a clinic held in the Conservatory’s cavernous 6,000 sq. ft. live sound classroom.
“Wireless audio is going crazy right now because of the changeover from terrestrial television broadcast to other methods, meaning the bandwidth used so many years for TV is now up for grabs for other uses,” says live sound instructor Jim Bender. This means that wireless transmission of audio, one of the mainstays of the live sound industry, is changing rapidly. “Tom’s clinic showed students that staying at least one step ahead of the changes in our industry, can make someone very employable.” Bender continued. “It is a very deep topic that is often overlooked.”
Salisbury’s clinic is part of a range of clinics offered students on various topics including speaker and DI construction, music theory, studio management and more.
