Live Sound

Live Sound Venue

One of the most exciting features of the Conservatory’s Gilbert, Arizona location is its 6000 square-foot live sound venue. It's no secret that live sound has been one of the cornerstones of the audio industry for decades. Given the explosive growth of employment opportunities in this field, the commitment of a large space dedicated to live sound at the Gilbert campus makes perfect sense. Robert Scovill, one of the world’s leading authorities in live sound, designed our curriculum, and the facility had to be sophisticated enough to accommodate it. The room’s staging, lighting, trusses, and stage dressing come from Production Resource Group (PRG) in Las Vegas, one of the world’s foremost live sound/touring companies. Line arrays are the latest word in live sound, and Mr. Scovill has now developed additional curriculum for manufacturer certification on the JBL Vertec Line Array that is featured in this venue. That certification, along with SIA-SMAART certification, helps make Conservatory graduates exceptionally well prepared to pursue successes in live sound reinforcement.
