43-3623 Loudspeaker System Applications

This advanced course builds upon theoretical/practical knowledge acquired by students in earlier courses (basic acoustics/psychoacoustics, loudspeaker parametes, signal processing, and live sound reinforcement) and synthesizes the information in the context of optimizing loudspeaker selection, placement, and processing to fulfill specific audio needs. Through practical and theoretical projects, as well as supporting lectures, students define the loudspeaker system design goals for a small number of representative case studies. They then determine appropriate equipment and placement for the desired audio coverage, and utilize a combination of objective and subjective techniques for alignment and calibration of the designed systems.
