A live sound engineer’s guide to Rigging and Line Arrays. This path will teach you how to set up and use line array speakers and then understand rigging techniques and practices that modern live sound engineers need to know.
As a sound engineer running live shows, you’ll benefit from a working knowledge of the tools required to hang line arrays and position them according to your system requirements.
You’ll learn rigging tools such as chain blocks, Spansets, motors, motor control, load capacity, and speaker weights.
Before hanging line arrays, live sound engineers must understand amplification, crossovers, DSP setup and how to wire the system together.
