    The VA Fundamentals course starts from basic PA / acoustic knowledge then builds to detail the concept, planning and integration of the various ‘life critical’ aspects of a design.

    An engineer’s introduction to the requirements of the current version of BS5839-8 detailing the requirements for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of voice alarm systems, along with practical advice and examples.

    You will learn...

    • VA system principles
    • British Standards, Legislation
    • Circuits, Zones
    • VA system categories
    • Networking
    • Phased Evacuation
    • Alarm Messages
    • Emergency microphones
    • VACIE – router facilities
    • CIE – fire panel interfacing
    • Amplifier topology

    Learn how the correct selection and placement of loudspeakers in a given acoustic environment, has a direct relationship on perceived sound quality in the listener’s seat.

    YOU WILL LEARN...

    • The acoustic signal path from the loudspeaker to the listeners ear and what it does to the audio signal

    • Direct to reverberant ratio and its relevance to speech intelligibility and music fidelity

    • How to optimise the direct to reverberant ratio for improved system performance

    • The key characteristics that define a loudspeaker: sensitivity, power handling, maximum SPL, bass extension, fidelity and dispersion

    • How we define dispersion, a look at polar plots and isobar plots, what they tell you about the acoustic performance of a loudspeaker and how they enable you to compare different devices

    • How an informed choice of loudspeaker enables you to optimise the direct to reverberant ratio and therefore maximise audio quality


    WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

    If you are involved in specifying, designing, installing or using sound systems – including contractors, estimators, system designers, live sound engineers and theatre technicians., this course will benefit you.
