The Conservatory recently took delivery of a 52 channel Yamaha PM3500 live sound console for use in the live sound curriculum. Students will now be trained on two of the hottest consoles in professional touring sound, the Yamaha PM1D digital mixer and the PM3500 analog console. “Having the students train on both analog and digital platforms is a theme we carry through our entire curriculum,” says Administrator Kirt Hamm. “We place emphasis on both platforms because the industry’s top jobs involve being versatile across a wide range of gear.”
Indeed, the Conservatory’s studios offer the best of legacy gear such as the ubiquitous SSL 4000 G+ series and Neve VR consoles plus 26 of the newest Pro Tools HD and LE systems. Having expert knowledge of signal flow on this gear and more makes Conservatory grads the first choice when studios like Electric Lady, Quad, Studio 880 and others look for employees. “It’s all about making our grads employable,” says Hamm. “That’s why we place emphasis on expert training on the gear the pros are using.”
The Conservatory trains students on various consoles, gear and software from Digidesign, TC Electronic, Neotek, Neve, SSL, Allen & Heath, Alesis, Neumann, Royer, SE Electronics and more.
