HOW-TO ASSIST (tm) (Academy of
Sound
System Integration, Setup &
Troubleshooting) is a training seminar tour
designed to provide sound team technicians, electrical contractors and sound
system installers with the best possible training on how to setup,
integrate and troubleshoot live sound systems of any size. Installing a sound system in a modern facility is not as simple as just running a few wires anymore. Customers expect perfect room coverage, no hums or buzzes and volume levels that may approach concert SPLs. Its not easy to do this successfully without complete knowledge of how pro-sound gear actually operates in a live environment with a full band.  As providers of
professional training seminars to Grammy chapters, AES sections and
NSCA workshops over the years, and the national leader in Church
Sound training for the last 10 years the HOW-TO Sound Workshops have
trained over 10 thousand end users on how to properly setup and run
their own sound systems. Now your installation crew can benefit from
their industry knowledge on how to properly select, integrate, setup
and troubleshoot any sound system from the simplest portable gear
all the way up to concert-level sound systems. These classes are
lead by industry expert Mike Sokol, who has over 40 years experience
in sound system design, integration, operation and operator
training. The HOW-TO ASSIST program is produced by
Hector La Torre,
long-time industry stalwart and innovator for Fits & Starts
Productions. We understand your business doesnt have the time and money to send you and your design/installation team to a central conference hundreds of miles away. That is why the HOW-TO ASSIST Tour is coming to a city near you. These ASSIST classes are manufacturer supported and approved, with a final test and certificate of completion included at the end of the 8-hour classroom program. We cover the following important topics, plus a whole lot more... WITH NEW TECHNIQUES FOR FINDING GROUND LOOPS! How to eliminate hum and buzz in your sound system! Choosing a Digital or Analog mixing console What to do with the subgroups and matrix outputs Setting sound system gain structure for best performance!
