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. The unit applies to those who 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's LMS

In the course of the above, the candidate must: apply knowledge of regulatory and technical issues affecting use of wireless audio technologies determine how to use wireless audio technology according to production requirements identify and respond to problems relating to wireless audio equipment system work collaboratively with performers and others involved in productions meet privacy protocols when working with performers and fitting wireless equipment.
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of: key factors, purpose and procedures relating to industry terminology: o wireless and sound technologies o audio consoles o digital signal processing o cable rolling o internet protocol (IP) networking o signal flow operation and delivery performance factors impacting use of wireless audio technology care and management of a range of rechargeable battery types procedures for using different types of wireless audio equipment in different production contexts how common frequencies used with wireless audio equipment may be reserved or affected by local television or radio transmitters features of different antennae and how they are used in wireless audio operations techniques and protocols for fitting radio equipment to performers Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) requirements for allocating frequencies for wireless audio equipment procedures for establishing different practical and available channels at given location safety requirements for use of wireless audio equipment how to address common issues and challenges of managing wireless audio operations.
Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry. This includes access to: radio microphones and/or in-ear monitors, transmitters and receivers venue where productions that require wireless audio technology can be held.

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. Informal vivas may be conducted as part of an assessment task, where staff require further information to confirm the learning outcomes have been met. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
