Intro to Live Sound
Partnership with Duke Arts Create & Co-Lab Roots
About the Workshop
This workshop will teach the basics of how to setup and run a live sound system. We’ll cover speaker placement, what cables to use, how to run a mixing board, how to mic instruments, how to connect laptops and DJ controllers, and how to EQ a system to fit a room. Participants are welcome to bring instruments and equipment to test out.
