SURROUND SOUND WORKSHOP ™ROAD
TOUR ROLLS INTO ITS 8th SEASON…
Starting
September 2006,
The
Surround Convergence Tours
Travel to
Sixteen cities across the Country!
Convergence means surround sound is
not just in the studio anymore…. We
show you how to listen to surround
sound in your living room, on the
road, in your dorm room...
Anywhere you demand it, you can have
it.
Join us in our eighth season this
year when Fits & Starts Productions,
LLC heads back out on the road,
featuring a new surround system
workshop format. This season we are
working to advance surround
technology by showing how to
playback surround-sound audio on
anything from an iPod to your dorm
room to your car. This is
all about surround sound creativity,
education and awareness. Workshops
feature Mike “Mr. Surround” Sokol as
the lead instructor.
Fits & Starts Productions, LLC
is the leading producer of audio
seminars and workshops in North
America. Our audiences consist
of qualified professional members
from AES, as well as from NAB,
Recording Academy, SBE and SPARS
organizations. Plus, because we
believe they are the future of our
industry, we invite hundreds of
recording and music students and
their faculty from the top colleges,
private programs and universities.
We speak with 3,000-4,000+
qualified and dedicated audio and
broadcast people each tour season.
Workshops are generally conducted at
recording, broadcast and film
colleges, as well as broadcast
stations. Attendees learn how
to setup surround (5.1, 6.1 and 7.1)
systems, and get to hear, touch
and see surround gear in a listening
and learning environment.

Apple, DPA, DTS,
Emagic, Holophone, Immersive Media
Research, M-Audio, M&K Professional,
Marantz, Mark of The Unicorn,
