Content
The focus of the day is on achieving intelligibility - if you're passionate about sound, then you want to get good quality, intelligible sound to every seat in the house. Most sound engineers have a good knowledge of the electronic signal path, but are less sure of the acoustic signal path between the loudspeaker and the listener's ears. It is this part of the signal chain that we'll be primarily looking at.

We will
Define the parameters that make up a well behaved (and badly behaved) loudspeaker.

Examine the effect of speaker choice and placement on intelligibility.

Consider constant directivity and see why it is so important.

Explore what happens to sound in our working environment and the different factors that change its propagation.

Analyse addition and subtraction of sound waves and consider the drawbacks - comb filtering, and the benefits - coupling of subwoofers.

Investigate system sizing: how loud does it need to be, what system will achieve this level, how much headroom is needed and at what cost?

Look at the d&b acoustics calculator, you will receive a copy, and find out how it can help in your system designs.

Along the way, we will take in all the acoustics and physics you'll need. We avoid the "Chalk and Talk" approach; practical experiments, demonstrations and reasoned discussion take the place of the blackboard as much as possible.
