2)
High Performance Home Theater Audio Calibration (CEDIA
EST007). Taught by Anthony
Grimani.
Calibrating
a home theater is a complex process and a very vital final link in
the quality of your projects. The work starts with a full verification
that all products in the system work correctly, and debugging any
problems found from the verifications done with test equipment. Only
then can you move to configuration and fine tuning of the system. You
will learn the whole process in this three hour course. This is an
advanced course so come prepared with basic knowledge of audio
technologies and product functionality.
3)
Home Theater Acoustical Treatments - (CEDIA ESD031). Taught by Anthony Grimani.
A
major portion of the sound that enters your ears is actually reflected
off the walls and other surfaces in the room. Discover how to tame these
sound reflections through the use of absorbers, diffusers, bass traps,
and other specialty devices. Learn how to tweak a room and maximize the
sweet spot through proper use of acoustical treatments.
Topics Include:
Sound Reflections
Boundary effects
Echoes
Reflection decay time
Standing waves
Treatment
Layouts
4)
Home Theater Architect - Design and Build a High End Home Theater Audio
Calibration (CEDIA ESD018). Taught by Anthony Grimani.
Learn the
process and steps in the design of a high performance home theater.
Topics will include room design for acoustics and optics, component
selection for sound and picture, interior design integration, and
automation integration.
We
are also in the process of setting up distance learning live via the
internet. Call us if you are interested.
