Institute Of Acoustics

16, 17, 18/11/21 - Institute Of Acoustics:

I assisted d&b audiotechnik in providing sound and technical support for the Institute Of Acoustics seminar. I assisted anywhere required, from load in, setting up a projection screen, adjusting the film camera for the live stream, to laying down cables, sound checking mics, handing wireless mics to the audience members for questions and setting up headset microphones on the people giving talks. This included setting the headset correctly for Bob McCarthy. The speakers used were from the d&b Eseries and Cseries. I also kept on top of time management for changeovers and communicated with what mic power pack was used and which handheld mic was being used during Q&A sections. The desk was a Digico SD11i. I developed my skill for attaching headset mics on people at the appropriate angle. I made sure to always arrive early and that all, or if not the majority of work was finished by the end of each day shift. I made sure at the end of the pack down and work experience to reiterate my appreciation for the enjoyable experience. Over the 3 days I talked with several professionals about sound work around the Bristol area and outer regions and gained some contacts.
