Alchemea College of Audio Engineering has forged an innovative new partnership with Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington's historic London venue "The Fridge" to bring live sound engineering courses into the real world.

Alchemea, has developed an intensive hands-on 4-month Live Sound Diploma Course, it's aim to give students unprecedented levels of real practical experience, with all practical training and study taking place at “The Fridge”, which has recently undergone a substantial refurbishment programme.

SSE Sales has supplied a Digidesign Venue Profile HD64 front of house console (including a Pro Tools HD recording system) as part of a complete PA system that is being provided by Alchemea.

Neil Pickles one of Alchemea's Directors comments:

"Emma Barwell of SSE's London office has been very helpful to us during the conception stage of our Live Sound Diploma with her advice and so SSE Sales is of course our choice for supplying our Venue system.

The Venue Profile HD64 was the logical choice as our Front of House board as it was important to be able to offer cost effective recording of Live Shows to Promoters, Bands, Radio and TV companies. In addition, the Virtual Sound check has many uses educationally, enabling students to learn signal flow, practice monitor mixing and FOH mixing before stepping up to real bands as the course progresses.

Alchemea, one of the only Digidesign/Avid Pro Schools in Europe, also offers Digidesign's own 210V course to established sound engineers who wish to really get to grips with its many options."



Alan 'Nobby' Hopkinson
has been appointed as Alchemea’s Head of Live Sound and will oversee the Fridge’s new system.

As a result, regular live music concerts are set to return to The Fridge for the first time in 15 years.
