Learn how to measure the acoustic parameters that affect sound system performance and design.

The course will include live demonstrations and a hands-on session where participants get to make their own measurements.

You will learn...

• How sound level meters work and which measurement parameters and settings to use.
• Noise measurement terminology; A and C weighting curves, fast, slow integration times and Leq measurements.
  
• Octave, 1/3 octave and narrow band frequency resolutions and their uses.
  
• What ‘real time’ analysis can and cannot do.
  
• How to make impulse response measurements and what these can tell you.
  
• How to make reverberation time measurements and estimate reverberation times.
  
• How rooms can affect sound and how to determine and quantify such effects.
  
• Direct and reverberant soundfield analysis.
  
• Critical distance and its importance in sound system measurement.
  
• How to measure sound distribution and variation.
  

• System polarity measurements.

• How to make speech transmission index measurements and verify the intelligibility.
  

• Measuring the frequency response of a sound system.
  

• Use of acoustic measurement apps and devices.
