Register for the d&b Soundscape workshop.

The Goal

Participants will gain theoretical and practical experience to confidently plan and set up a d&b Soundscape system. Efficient configuration examples are demonstrated as well as the use of protocols, such as Dante, OCA, and OSC. All this will provide a general overview to reliably link d&b systems with audio signals and control networks.

Content

• Workshop begins with a review of the fundamentals of the d&b Workflow, software, and system planning.
• An introduction to the motivation and ideas behind the d&b Soundscape system approach.
• Detailed view of the features of the DS100 signal matrix and its configurations.
• Refresh of localization and psychoacoustic principles.
• Introduction to En-Scene, the positioning algorithm within the DS100. From mono through stereo to object-based signal reproduction.
• Discussion on Soundscape system design criteria. What should the system provide in terms of coverage and loudspeaker quantity?
• En-Scene function groups and their behavior regarding signal processing on several loudspeaker groups.
• Moving Sound Objects: Sound Object behavior and sound object parameters.
• ArrayCalc special features regarding Soundscape. How does Soundscape integrate into the d&b workflow?
• Considerations regarding room acoustics and their influence on reverberation times.
• Introduction to the working principles of En-Space, the onboard engine for emulated room acoustics.
• En-Space signal flow and working principles in conjunction with En-Scene.
• Control of the d&b Soundscape using external controllers. Basic introduction to the OSC protocol and mapping principles for external Soundscape control.
