The Live Sound Wizard "Tennyson" in his SC-48 Sound Board





Electro-Voice (Ev) product training & demo at Sound Engineering Academy




There is no need to introduce Ev range audio products for a person who is associated with Sound Engineering or those who follow the industry. It is one of the best in yet advanced and reliable means of audio devices in the world. The product range of Ev is being used by lots of sound engineers around the world.

Last week we at Sound Engineering Academy have introduced this worlds legendary pro-audio company in the campus. An exclusive product training has been organized for our students. The training session lasted for 2 days and covered topics from microphones to the cutting edge Line Array designing. Its was a great learing experience for our students in the most advanced audio technology.

Students and all Staff of Sound Engineering Academy takes this opportunity Thanks Ev India & Mr Gautham N D ( South India Sales In Charge).

Hk Line Array Set Up at Sound Engineering Academy



























The image displayed above is the Hk Line Array being Set Up in Sound Engineering Academy. Sound Engineering Academy is the first institute in India to setup Hk line of array elements in its campus. We are proud that our students has got another excellent opportunity to get trained in one of the best audio elements in the world and increased their level of knowledge.

System Tuning & Drum Micking By Arun Madhavan

 

SEA Students had a very unique training on audio system tuning and drum micking. Smart Live software was used as the RTA analyzing platfrom. We use digital console, Dbx crossovers, HK line array for top & Ev live X-18"as subwoofers. For Drum miking we used an entire Ev line up. It was 2 day training & was handled by Mr.Arun Madhav - the leading live sound engineer from Hyderabad. Awesome Experience!!!

We at sound engineering academy believe that a student who is passing out from here must have a hands on experience on all the latest sound engineering techniques and equipments. Sound Engineering Academy have always organised interesting yet informational session for lifting the level of knowledge of the students. As part of this we have organised this session on audio system tuning and drum micking.  

Advanced Mixing Techniques by KT Francis

 




SEA Students had 2 days advanced training on digital audio console for live sound reinforcement. The session was handled by the leading Sound Engineer Mr. KT Francis. The legendary yamaha digital mixing console series LS9-32 was used as the training board. The session was an excellent opportunity for the Students of Sound Engineering Academy to know more about the latest developments in the arena of advanced sound mixing. All the students of the academy has utilized this opportunity to get maximum knowledge from the expert regarding sound mixing. The tips shared by KT Francis were some of the best methods followed in the industry which has shed new light to unexplored  arenas of sound mixing not only for students but all for the training staff in the Academy. Thanks again KT Francis for coming to Sound Engineering Academy and sharing your thoughts and ideas.

Yamaha HS-80 world class studio monitor speakers installed in Sound Engineering Academy's Mixing Studio


 

The new HS series reference monitors have been created by Yamaha's studio monitor engineering team to deliver exceptionally flat, accurate response that you can trust. Unlike "monitor" speakers with exaggerated bass and treble that make a good first impression but can't be relied on for accuracy, the HS series were designed to be true studio reference monitors in the tradition of the legendary Yamaha NS10M. 







Overview 

  • 2-way bass-reflex bi-amplified near-field studio monitor
  • 8" cone woofer and 1" dome high-frequency unit
  • 42Hz - 20kHz frequency response.
  • 120 watts dynamic bi-amplified power.
  • XLR and TRS phone jack inputs accept balanced or unbalanced signals.
  • Level control facilitates precise overall system level matching.
  • MID EQ, ROOM CONTROL, and HIGH TRIM response control switches.
  • LOW CUT switch.
  • Full magnetic shielding

Features

High-performance Speakers and Mounting System

The elegant white-cone speakers used in the HS-series monitors deliver superlative audio performance that is further enhanced by a carefully engineered mounting system. A system of screws and a specially designed mounting ring eliminates spurious vibration and resonance, allowing the speaker to deliver its full sonic potential. Another feature that boosts woofer performance is a magnet selected to produce accurate, solid low-end response. The tweeter frames employ an advanced smooth-contour design that minimizes losses so that high-frequency details come through with remarkable accuracy. The extra thickness of the tweeter frame also minimizes resonance that can interfere with high-end clarity. The overall result is extraordinarily smooth, accurate response throughout the audio spectrum.

The Benefits of Built-in Power and Bi-amplification

Powered, bi-amplified monitor speakers simply make the most electrical and sonic sense, and that's why they have become the first choice of sound professionals the world over for near- and mid-field monitoring applications. In addition to the obvious advantage that you don't need separate power amplifiers, the fact that power and speakers are integrated in one unit means that the amplifiers can be perfectly matched to the characteristics of the speaker units used so you get consistently superior performance with any source in just about any listening environment. Bi-amplification means that separate power amplifiers are used to drive the low-mid and high-frequency speaker units, and this eliminates interaction between the units as well as the response and phase anomalies introduced by passive crossover networks. Both speaker units can function at optimum performance levels for correspondingly high overall sonic quality.

Large Magnets in an Advanced Magnetic Circuit Design

One feature of the HS-series monitors that you'll hear but are not likely to see is the extra large magnets. In combination with an advanced magnetic circuit design these magnets provide a powerful, uniform, tightly controlled flux field that results in exceptionally smooth response and dynamic capability over a wider frequency range.

Portable, Versatile Monitoring for Your Audio Workstation

All you really need for top-class stereo production capability is a good audio workstation and a pair of HS-series monitors. A system like this is not only portable and extremely easy to set up anywhere you need it, it can deliver outstanding monitoring performance that will let you get your mixes just right. The response-control features of these monitors let you tweak them for the best response no matter where you set them up.

Serious Surround Production

Although stereo is still the most common format for basic music listening, 5.1 surround has become the audio format of choice for today's advanced visual media, and is beginning to be recognized as a superior vehicle for pure musical enjoyment as well. But to properly mix and produce surround sound you need a good 5.1 monitoring system. The HS-series speakers and subwoofer are the perfect choice if you want competitive surround-monitoring performance without having to spend big-studio megabucks to get it. Combine five HS50M or HS80M powered near-field reference monitors with one or more HS10W subwoofers, and you're ready to produce and deliver state-of-the-art surround sound.

Optimum Response In Any Room

Speaker response can vary greatly depending on the size, shape, and surface acoustics of the room in which they're used, as well as how they're placed within that environment. The HS50M and HS80M give you extra room-matching and speaker placement versatility with ROOM CONTROL, MID EQ, and HIGH TRIM response control switches that are specifically designed to compensate for common acoustic deficiencies and monitoring needs. The ROOM CONTROL switch, for example, can be used to compensate for the unnatural low-end exaggeration that usually occurs when speakers are placed close to walls or in corners. The MID EQ switch gives you subtle midrange boost and cut options in addition to flat response, while the HIGH TRIM switch offer the same type of response-tailoring capability for the high frequencies.
