Massimo Faggioni, explains how the X Factor Italy system has been designed
Italy - Powersoft continues its successful series of Webinars, with a new programme that commences on 4-5 October at 3.00pm GMT.
Following on from the successful training forum presentations by Dave Rat and Steven Kemland, the next sessions will highlight all aspects of designing an audio system for TV programmes such as X Factor Italy, where live music and broadcast audio are the key fundamentals, and how to overcome them. It will also look at how Powersoft can invigorate the PA on the live touring circuit.
Both Webinars will follow the same format as previously, with each host explaining the use of the technology followed by a live Q/A session where attendees can ask questions.
