d&b audiotechnik Greater China launches Soundscape Production Engineer Certification Programme.

d&b audiotechnik Greater China launched its first-ever official certification programme for pro-audio engineers using d&b Soundscape technology in Hong Kong in April.

Named the Soundscape Production Engineer Certification Programme (SPEC), the five-day debut event saw Production Engineers, Sound Designers and Mixing Engineers successfully gain the newly created d&b certification. The programme delivered training in signal processing and audio object-based mixing and explored the possibilities of d&b Soundscape’s powerful En-Scene and En-Space software modules. It concluded with an examination to certify the participants as fully trained and ready to deliver high quality d&b Soundscape events.

The programme was held in the Yuen Long Theatre, which has a d&b Soundscape system permanently installed, and was delivered in partnership with the East Kowloon Cultural Centre (EKCC) arts complex under the Hong Kong government's Leisure and Cultural Services Department. d&b audiotechnik Greater China CEO Daniel Chan initiated the certification programme, with course content managed by d&b’s Ralf Zuleeg and the d&b Soundscape Enablement team.

The Hong Kong SPEC event was the result of years of successful partnerships between d&b Greater China and arts and culture organisations in the region. The d&b Greater China team note that a surge in interest in theatre sound technology from venues, students and audio engineers, in addition to more Hong Kong productions harnessing the power of d&b Soundscape, meant that a training programme was needed. There are also increasing numbers of venues installing the d&b Soundscape system, including the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Yuen Long Theatre, Shaw Auditorium at the University of Science and Technology, and the Hong Kong Design Institute.
