The participants will start with inventory of the audio equipment, inspecting it for any damage. They will then set up the mixing console, apply power, and while using an industry standard microphone and headphones, make adjustments to the controls of the mixing console. With special focus on the necessity for the controls of the mixer and description of the stages of amplification within the mixer,  a foundation for the purpose of mixing will be recognized.

Students will next unpack and place a powered speaker in their workstation and we will instruct and discuss the process of connecting and operating this speaker effectively. The next section will include connection of a wireless microphone to the mixing console, coordination of frequencies in the environment, setting the frequency, and programming the transmitter to sync with the receiver. A discussion of the RF frequency environment will be included to give a basic understanding of the challenges of using wireless microphones in a very crowded convention AV environment.
