Sound system optimisation seminar
This seminar provides guidance on how to improve the quality of your sound system in any given acoustic
environment. We will guide you through the process, both in theory and practice,
of measuring, adjusting and finally optimising your sound system.
Requirements
Participants should be fully conversant with sound system design, set up and tuning. General
knowledge of acoustic measurement systems is advantageous. To be able to participate in the
hands-on part, please bring the following with you: PC laptop and full-duplex capable audio
interface with two inputs and two outputs on XLR connectors (please bring adaptors to XLR if
your interface has different connectors). Please make sure that the audio interface is working
properly with your computer.
We will be using a common software platform for the seminar, so that everybody is able to
perform measurements. With your confirmation email you will receive further important information
on how to get this software. If you are already using a PC-based measurement system, you are very
welcome to bring it to the seminar as well.
The goal
The participants using both theoretical and practical knowledge should be able to optimise a sound system
with accuracy, understanding and improved sonic results.

Content
Introduction, System Design and 'pre flight check'
Through theoretical and practical exercises we will explain the sound system that
will be used during this seminar, and the essential system checks that
should be performed before starting any sound system optimisation process.
Early listening
The old fashioned procedure of tuning a system using an SM58 and a favourite CD to
set the system sound will be performed and discussed by the participants.
Measurement systems
The different types of measurement systems will be discussed and their basic functions
explained in detail.
Frequency response
The question of defining the right target frequency response will be answered during a
discussion. The spectral power contained in normal signals and psychoacoustic
effects like the curves of equal loudness will be interwoven to get to a useful
result.
Optimisation process
This involves a step by step path through the tuning of the system. The frequency response,
the TOP-SUB alignment and the tuning and alignment of fill loudspeakers will be
performed in theory and practice. This session requires the cooperation of the
participants.
Conclusion
After listening to the complete tuned system, the seminar will be rounded up with
a questions and answers session.
