NORTHRIDGE, California – Providing a unique
opportunity for audio engineers to experience its market-leading VTX line
arrays in real-world conditions, HARMAN’s JBL Professional is announcing the
inauguration of its VTX PRO Seminar Series. The first seminars will be hosted
by: Ken “Pooch” Van Druten, FOH Engineer for Linkin Park; Jim Digby, Tour
Director for Linkin Park and President of the Event Safety Alliance; Vic
Wagner, System Engineer for Sound Image; and Vinnie Perreux, Market Manager,
Tour Sound, HARMAN Professional.
The VTX PRO Seminar Series will offer a
unique, behind-the-scenes look at Linkin Park’s concert productions and the VTX
technology and sound design that go into those productions. Attendees will be
able to experience the same VTX performance that can be heard during a Linkin
Park show—while also having access to a Linkin Park concert that evening.
Starting January 15 at the Amway Center in
Orlando, Florida, the VTX Pro Seminar Series will make more than 20 stops
through March, stretching across the United States and Canada, coinciding with
Linkin Park concerts in the same venues. Stops include Bridgestone Arena in
Nashville, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Dunkin Donuts Center in Rhode Island,
Rexall Place in Edmonton, and more.
Content for the VTX Pro Seminar Series
includes an introduction of VTX system technology, followed by a discussion of
venue-specific sound design incorporating VTX line arrays, Crown I-Tech HD
amplification and processing, JBL HiQnet Performance Manager™ software and the
JBL Line Array Calculator, along with cardioid subwoofer arraying techniques.
After a virtual playback session and discussion of the Event Safety Alliance
with Jim Digby, the seminars conclude with a Q&A session, followed by
admission to the Linkin Park show.
