Wireless Best Practices and Techniques
Incorporating effective demonstrations and real-life anecdotes from Shure RF experts, a variety of topics are covered in great detail, including the basics of radio waves and wireless transmission, best practices for antenna selection and placement, and understanding frequency coordination. The Master Class is offered both in-person and online, in order to suit your hectic schedule or personal learning style. The Wireless Master Class also serves as pre-requisite for the RF Coordination Workshop, providing the perfect opportunity for you to “level-up” your wireless knowledge.
Wireless Workbench 7 Software Tutorials
Wireless Workbench (WWB) 7 software lets you remotely coordinate, monitor, and manage your wireless gear without interrupting the production. This online training includes videos and simulations, and is divided into three levels: Fundamentals, Intermediate and Advanced.
The RF Coordination Workshop
This intensive, two-day training session, led by Shure instructors, emphasizes hands-on experience with wireless equipment. We’ll address common challenges encountered in settings such as clubs, multi-stage festivals, and Houses of Worship. Building on concepts from the Shure Master Class: Wireless Best Practices and Techniques, our trainers will increase the complexity of each scenario. By the end of the second day, you will be well-prepared to handle RF coordination.
Why do installers and technicians need RF Certification?
Are overhead and labor costs on routine installs eating away at your profits? Are you making repeat trips to a job site to troubleshoot simple wireless audio configurations?
The age-old question: how do integrators keep runaway costs like labor from piling up on a bread-and-butter installation in a corporate training room or House of Worship?
With the growing number of devices joining wireless microphones and personal monitors on stage and competing for clean spectrum, these dream gigs can quickly turn into nightmares.
Sending your team to Shure Audio Institute’s RF Certification is a surefire way to keep them equipped with an advanced, up-to-date skillset; and you can feel confident in their abilities to use tools like Wireless Workbench® to accurately and successfully deploy wireless systems in the field.
This means less time on the job, fewer support calls and return trips, leading to lower overhead and labor costs eating into your profits.
