Shure Advanced Wireless Seminars

The Shure Advanced Wireless Certification Program is more than an excellent training course. You’ll also earn 4 renewal units (RUs) toward AVIXA CTS accreditation through successful completion of the course.

The Shure Advanced Wireless Seminar is a localised version, modified to reflect local Australian regulations and restrictions.

Frequency selection and coordination are critical to the successful design of wireless microphone and in-ear systems. This will become more so as the pool of available frequencies diminishes in the coming years due to the digital dividend reallocation. Frequency coordination tasks become more complex as the number of systems increases, often to the point of requiring a dedicated RF engineer on large productions.

This seminar teaches how to successfully set up, deploy and operate multi-channel wireless microphone and in-ear systems. The seminar is tailored around real-world scenarios as encountered in today’s productions.

Topics covered include:

• Radio Fundamentals and Frequency Allocation
• Propagation, Antenna placement, Multi-path interference & diversity reception
• Modulation (analogue & digital), Audi Processing, in-ear systems
• Multi-system compatibility, intermodulation, interference, cables & distribution systems
• Squelch, batteries
• Wireless management tools

The training seminar makes extensive use of the Shure Wireless Workbench version 6 (WWB6) application for configuration, control and monitoring of wireless audio devices.

Recommended for any audio professional involved in the design and/or operation of wireless audio systems. Attendees should have previous experience with wireless audio systems and be familiar with technical terms and concepts.

Presenters:

1) Jeff MacKenzie, Jands Technology Lead – Originally Jeff trained as a radio communications engineer and one of his areas of speciality is large scale wireless systems.
