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.
Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan, set up and operate stage monitor systems for performers in live productions and events. Individuals who apply these skills are expected to display a high level of initiative and judgement as they take responsibility for addressing the on-stage mixing requirements of each performer in a group or orchestra. 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: Plan, set up and operate stage monitor systems for at least two productions, meeting production and performer requirements. Work collaboratively. 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 the types of information required to plan stage monitor systems. Describe the features of a range of stage monitor systems and how they are used in different contexts. Provide examples of safety issues associated with the set-up and installation of stage monitor systems. In the context of stage monitor systems, describe issues that need to be addressed in different performance situations in relation to foldback mixing, and equalising foldback speakers. Suggest ways of addressing issues and challenges that typically arise when operating stage monitor systems in a live production environment.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in a live performance environment. The assessment environment must include access to stage monitor equipment and a venue where a stage monitor system can be set up and operated. Assessors must satisfy SNR/AQTF assessor requirements.
