AES Toronto Section Event – Music Award Show Audio
The AES Toronto Section invites you to another great event on June 25 at 6:30 p.m. ET.
University of Toronto, Edward Johnson Building, Boyd Neal Room.
All award shows feature an audio component, but for music award shows, the quality of the audio can make or break the entire event. The largest Canadian music awards show, the Juno Awards, is a prime example of this. This year, the Juno Awards were held in Halifax. The production involved truckloads of PA systems, staging, broadcast, and recording equipment to ensure the event was televised seamlessly.
In our final presentation of the season, we invite you to join us as we explore the intricate processes behind creating such a flawless auditory experience. We will delve into the stage setups, the signal flows, and the hidden talents that work tirelessly to make an event like this possible. This presentation is a must-see for anyone interested in the magic behind the scenes of a major music awards show.
