This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to specify, fit and operate radio microphones and in-ear wireless monitors for performers in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries. Individuals who apply these skills work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for managing frequency spectrum and overseeing the use of a range of wireless audio equipment during productions. They may also be responsible for supervising others. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Evidence of the ability to: - fit wireless equipment to a number of performers in line with production requirements - apply knowledge of the regulatory and technical issues that affect the use of wireless audio technology to work activities - determine the best way of using wireless audio technology to meet production requirements - work collaboratively with performers and others involved in productions. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
To complete the unit requirements the individual must: - describe performance factors that impact on the use of wireless audio technology - explain how to use different types of wireless audio equipment in a range of production contexts - explain how common frequencies used with wireless audio equipment may be reserved or affected by local television or radio transmitters - explain the features of a range of antennae - describe ways in which radio equipment can be fitted to people - describe protocols for dealing with performers while fitting wireless audio equipment - explain Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) requirements for allocating frequencies for wireless audio equipment - explain the frequency spacing required for adjacent wireless channels, and how to establish a number of practical and available channels at a given location - describe safety requirements for the use of wireless audio equipment - discuss how to address issues and challenges that typically arise when managing wireless audio operations.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - radio microphones, in-ear monitors, transmitters and receivers - a venue where a production requiring wireless audio technology can be held. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
