In partnership with Venuetech and NYUAD Arts CentreSystem Design & Optimization (SDO) – 3 Days*
20. - 22. January
9:30 - 18:00
This course explores the relationship between the predictive perspective of the MAPP 3D Sound System Design and Prediction Tool and actual sound system performance as measured with FFT‑based transfer‑function analyzers. The instructor will generate and compare data using both tools, in order to help users better understand the correlation between the two. Upon completion of the course, attendees will possess a clearer idea of how sound systems behave in both modelled and real space, and with it, a more informed approach to accurately designing and optimizing systems using Meyer Sound solutions.
SDO is eligible for 18 AVIXA CTS, CTS-D, CTS-I RU.
Low Frequency Control (LFC) – 1 Day*
23. January
