System Design & Optimization – 3 Days – March 24 - 26

This course explores the principles of loudspeaker system design, focusing on the physics, prediction, measurement, and optimization techniques used in professional sound reinforcement. Participants will apply these concepts using Meyer Sound loudspeakers, MAPP 3D system prediction software, and the Galileo GALAXY processor platform.

Through a structured approach grounded in acoustic principles, this course trains attendees to make informed design decisions, validate them with measurement, and avoid missteps caused by misunderstood data. Emphasis is placed on optimizing multi-zone systems by managing level and phase relationships to ensure consistent, high-quality coverage.

Learning Objectives:

• Apply knowledge and understanding of physics of sound and concepts of frequency and phase to design, install, and calibrate/verify/optimize loudspeaker systems.
• Understand sound sources interaction to inform approaches to design, installation, and calibration of loudspeaker systems.
• Implement strategies for designing and executing loudspeaker systems including effective low frequency directivity and control.

This course is eligible for 18 AVIXA CTS, CTS-D, CTS-I RU.

Low Frequency Control (LFC) – 1 Day – March 27

Fusing classroom theory with practical exercises, this one-day course addresses a range of considerations when working with the Meyer Sound LFC subwoofer product line. Topics include verification procedures, cardioid and array configurations, effective cancellation techniques, main-to-LF scaling and alignment, and approaches to combining different subwoofer configurations within a single system.

This course is offered in select instances, as a supplement to Portable System Deployment and System Design & Optimization. Attendees should complete either course prior to taking Low Frequency Control, the content of which is intended for experienced audio technicians.

LFC is eligible for 6.5 AVIXA CTS, CTS-D, CTS-I RU.
