Music technology - pack of 8 educational posters

Introducing the 8-pack of A1 music technology wall posters

This set of eight A1 sized educational wallcharts from Genesis Images is essential for any music tech classroom or studio wall. This series covers the fundamentals of mixing, recording, synthesizing and processing sound.

Each poster is expertly designed, eye-catching and full of detailed information, which is conveyed using clear and simple diagrams, as well as high resolution software screenshots and images of equipment. Plus, these posters are made from quality 120gsm silk poster paper, which is durable and built to last for many years.

They’re perfect for teachers who want to decorate their classroom walls with useful information for students to learn from.

1/8 - Live sound

The live sound poster has everything you need to know about basic stage setup and control, with a central annotated mixing desk showing how the various components of a PA system talk to each other. It also includes segments on DI boxes and auxiliary inserts.

2/8 - Mixers

The mixers poster provides a beautifully simple explanation of the various functions of a mixer. It features magnified images of a single channel from both a hardware and software mixer, with colour coded annotations defining each knob and button. It also displays information about analogue, digital, and software controlled desks.

3/8 - Synthesizers

The synthesizers poster shows the complex workings of a synthesizer and helpfully reduces it to the basic facts with extremely clear diagrams and definitions. It includes examples of famous instruments, explanations of oscillators, filters and envelopes, and how to differentiate between analogue synths, digital synths, and samplers.

4/8 - Computers and music

The computers and music poster has easy to digest descriptions of each of the components of a basic digital audio workstation (DAW) including sections on audio interfaces and VSTs. This is essential information, as all music and music tech students will be expected to work with a setup like this at some point during their course.

5/8 - Microphones

The microphones poster neatly explains the different types of microphones – dynamic, ribbon, condenser, and electret – and their respective applications. It also features three detailed diagrams, which show the difference between omnidirectional, figure-of-eight and cardioid polar patterns.

6/8 - Samplers

The samplers poster gives extremely useful details on the history, mechanics and purpose of sampling. It includes information on sample rates and storage file formats, as well as graphical explanations of the most common sample manipulation techniques.

7/8 - Audio processing

The audio processing poster provides a summary of the most common audio effects used to alter recorded or live sound. Effects are grouped under four headings: time (reverb, delay), modulation (chorus, flange), tone (EQ), and dynamic (compression, gate). It also includes diagrams showing the parameters associated with each.

8/8 - Sound connections

The sound connections poster includes an invaluable reference sheet for musicians of all ages, giving explanations and applications of all the common types of connections and cables. It groups connections under three subheadings – audio signal, speaker, and digital information – and it also features a section on the difference between balanced and unbalanced wiring.
