Re: Topics suggestions for advanced system tech and tuning class
Hopefully the facility that Phil has approached will be available, since it is absolutely ideal for the needs of this course and will allow us to really stage many sorts of system setups.
We plan on spending a lot of time on basics, as well as going into how loudspeaker design affects array behavior and performance. After all, the loudspeaker is the building block for everything else we do.
Expect very in depth coverage of sub arrays, fills, delays, trap arrays, and finally information on building high performance line arrays that is not widely available. The importance of the phase trace will be emphasized and the importance of the magnitude trace minimized. Building systems that operate well over wide areas and bandwidths will be a prime point.
I've been wanting to work with Phil on something like this for a long time. He and I both agree on the meat and potatoes, but have enough different perspectives on the seasoning that there should be take aways for anyone at any level of the industry. There will be ample Q&A time, and the class will be very practical application focused. At the end of the day, we want you to have learned how to do something, or do something you're already doing better, the very next day.
