Content

Introduction

We start the day with an informal introduction that familiarizes you with the seminar presenter's and attendee's professional background.

 

De-mystifying Audio

We take a brief look at various audio phenomena, the knowledge of which lets everybody understand acoustics and the behavior of loudspeakers a little bit better. We also familiarize ourselves with some basic principles of loudspeaker design and what influence they have on the directivity and frequency response. This session does away with complicated math and physics and lets the participants experience a variety of phenomena through a number of acoustic experiments.

 

System Reality

Having learned about the inner workings of acoustics and loudspeakers in general, we now take a closer look at the d&b approach to loudspeaker design, amplification and processing electronics. Starting with a bit of company history, we explore d&b "System Reality" and learn about why we do things the way we do.

 

Introduction to the E, T and Q-Series

A look at the features and intended applications of the three lines of loudspeakers, their strengths and differences.

 

Hands-on listening session

Most of the afternoon is dedicated to actually setting up different systems out of the three series. Everybody can experience how the boxes and amplifiers handle and, most importantly, how they sound.
