What you'll master

Every discipline a studio show depends on

Course A brings together the four pillars of live studio production into one structured, hands-on programme.

Echo Control

Diagnose room reflections and apply acoustic treatment so dialogue and music stay clean.

Microphone Setup

Choose the right mic, polar pattern and placement for every voice on stage.

Camera Coordination

Plan shot lists and handoffs so every camera operator moves in sync.

Studio Workflow

Build repeatable show-day checklists your crew can run under real pressure.

Gear Checklists

Standardise pre-show line checks so faulty cables never make it to air.

Live Monitoring

Watch levels and feeds in real time and catch problems before viewers do.

Section label

Built by crews who run studio shows every week

echostarix trains production teams across the UK. Everything we teach comes straight from working studios, not a textbook.

Our Story

Course A began in a small broadcast studio in Manchester where our founders kept seeing the same problem: talented engineers and camera operators who had never been taught to work as one crew. Echo issues were fixed too late, mics clashed with shot angles, and shows ran on guesswork instead of process.

We built Course A to close that gap. It combines acoustic treatment, microphone technique, camera blocking and show-day workflow into a single curriculum, taught in real studios by people who still work live shows.

How training works

From studio audit to live show, in three steps

01

Assess Your Studio

We walk your space, review your current mic and camera setup, and flag echo hotspots.

02

Train Your Crew

Your team runs through hands-on modules on-site, working with your own equipment.

03

Run the Show

We shadow your next live studio show and fine-tune the workflow in real conditions.

Technique

Fix echo before it reaches the mixing desk

Most echo problems start with the room, not the microphone. In Course A we teach your crew to map reflective surfaces, position acoustic panels correctly and set gain staging so reverb never has a chance to build up on air.
