**Sound Technology Fundamentals Course**

based on the topics you provided: --- ###

**1. All About the Fundamentals of Audio Systems**


**Lesson Objectives** - Understand the basic components of an audio system. - Learn how sound is captured,
processed, amplified, and delivered. - Explore key concepts like frequency, decibels, and waveforms.

**Lesson Outline**
1. **Introduction to Sound** - What is sound? - Properties of sound (frequency, amplitude, wavelength, and
phase).
2. **Audio Signal Path** - Signal flow: Input → Processing → Amplification → Output. - Types of signals:
Analog vs. Digital.
3. **Audio System Components** - Input devices (microphones, instruments). - Signal processors (equalizers,
compressors). - Output devices (speakers, monitors).
4. **Practical Session** - Identifying components in an audio system. - Setting up a basic signal path.
**Activities:** - Group discussion: How sound systems are used in real-life applications. - Small hands-on
activity: Connecting basic components of an audio system. --- ### **2. Microphone Setup for Live Events**
**Lesson Objectives** - Learn the different types of microphones and their uses. - Understand microphone
placement for optimal sound capture. - Avoid common issues like feedback and interference. **Lesson
Outline** 1. **Types of Microphones** - Dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones. - Polar patterns:
Cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional, and shotgun. 2. **Microphone Placement Techniques** - For vocals,
instruments, and ambient sound. - Stereo mic techniques: XY, ORTF, and spaced pair. 3. **Live Event
Considerations** - Managing feedback. - Wireless microphone setup and troubleshooting. 4. **Practical
Session** - Setting up and testing microphones in a live event scenario. **Activities:** - Experiment with
different microphones to compare sound quality. - Practice positioning microphones for different instruments or
vocals. --- ### **3. Basics of Patching, Hooking-up, and Troubleshooting an Analog Audio Mixer** **Lesson
Objectives** - Understand the layout and functions of an analog audio mixer. - Learn to patch and connect
inputs and outputs. - Identify and fix common issues in audio mixer setups. **Lesson Outline** 1.
**Understanding an Audio Mixer** - Channels, EQ, gain, and faders. - Aux sends, buses, and master output. 2.
**Patching and Hooking Up** - Connecting inputs (microphones, instruments). - Setting gain structure and
signal routing. 3. **Troubleshooting Common Issues** - Identifying signal flow problems. - Resolving hums,
buzzes, and clipping. 4. **Practical Session** - Setting up and mixing a small audio session. **Activities:** -
Mock troubleshooting scenarios to identify and solve problems. - Practice routing and patching using a diagram.
--- ### **4. Signal Processors and Powered Speaker Systems** **Lesson Objectives** - Understand the role of
signal processors in audio systems. - Learn how powered speaker systems work. - Explore integration of
processors and speakers in a live setup. **Lesson Outline** 1. **Introduction to Signal Processors** -
Equalizers, compressors, limiters, and reverb units. - How signal processing enhances audio quality. 2.
**Powered Speaker Systems** - Active vs. passive speakers. - Amplification and speaker placement. 3.
**Integration in Audio Systems** - Signal flow from mixer to processors to speakers. - Managing volume and
preventing distortion. 4. **Practical Session** - Setting up a powered speaker system with signal processors.
**Activities:** - Apply EQ and compression to a live audio source. - Experiment with speaker placement for
optimal coverage. --- ### **5. Fundamentals of Routing** **Lesson Objectives** - Learn the basics of audio
routing. - Understand the signal chain in complex audio setups. - Practice routing in different live scenarios.
**Lesson Outline** 1. **What is Routing?** - Signal paths and their importance. - Routing diagrams and
terminology. 2. **Types of Routing** - Insert routing, aux routing, and subgroup routing. - Digital routing in
modern mixers. 3. **Applications in Live Events** - Routing for stage monitors and main outputs. - Managing
multiple signal paths simultaneously. 4. **Practical Session** - Creating a routing plan for a small event. -
Testing and troubleshooting a routed setup. **Activities:** - Group exercise: Design a routing setup for a mock
event. - Hands-on practice with creating and modifying routing schemes. --- **Final Project:** - Students will
design and set up a full audio system for a mock live event, applying all the concepts learned in the course. Let
me know if you'd like additional details or refinements!
