DescriptionThis two-day course presents a logical, intuitive, and practical approach to sound system design and integration. It begins with
a refresher course on audio fundamentals. Next, an overview of system design best practices will include loudspeaker selection
and placement, amplifier matching, and system performance optimization with digital signal processing – DSP. At the end of
this course, you will be able to assess the performance of your audio system design for acceptable speech intelligibility and
music clarity.
AudienceThis program is designed for technical individuals who want to grow of their knowledge in audio systems and strengthen their
understanding of system design and integration in real-world scenarios. This includes AV System Design Engineers, Installers, and
Junior AV Consultants.
Bring Your Own LaptopEach student is required to bring a laptop for system design exercises, DSP configuration, and final system validation. Laptops
used in this course must meet or exceed the following hardware and software requirements:
• Intel® Core™2 Duo or equivalent processor
• Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1
• Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and 4.0 Full
• A network connection with a data transfer rate of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps/1000 Mbps recommended
• Adobe Reader
• DSP Configurator software - Ensure that you have the latest version of DSP Configurator software installed prior to attending
this course. This software is available on the Extron Web site.

The Practical Audio in AV Applications Course Covers the Following Topics:
Audio Principles
Most sound problems are the result of overlooking basic
fundamentals. This refresher course covers essential
audio concepts and core principles, and strengthens your
understanding of audio terminology. By seeing how the theory
is used, you will be able to more effectively put it into practice.
The Audio Chain
The key to understanding sound systems is to understand the
signal chain. It is the most common denominator. This course
is built around common components found in a typical sound
system. After this course you will be able to:
• Explain the audio signal flow throughout the audio system
• Understand how audio components work and interface
together
• Properly design an audio system where its components are
used to their fullest potential
Designing Audio Systems in Typical AV Applications
This session includes project-based exercises where you walk
through the functional scope of work for an application. Next,
you will follow a step-by-step guided design session in order
to complete the design. After completing this course you will
learn:
• The Do’s and the Don’ts in applying microphone
techniques, and how to address comb filtering
• System design and performance optimization using a
DSP-based solution
• Fundamentals of loudspeaker selection and placement
based on achieving acceptable speech intelligibility
• Design basics necessary to determine the target SPL,
loudspeakers density, and power requirements
Practical Approach to Commissioning
In this session, you will use your laptop and Extron
DSP Configurator software to set up the DSP configuration that
is required for the project. With this practical exercise you will:
• Learn why proper gain structure is needed
• Apply the four essential steps to setting up proper gain
structure for AV systems
• Use Extron Building Blocks to help minimize configuration
time
This exercise concludes with validating your DSP configuration
using the pre-installed system in the classroom. This will enable
you to test or check your design and make final adjustments if
necessary.
Instrumentation and Troubleshooting
This session focuses on many of the common audio problems
in the field. It provides you with a “divide and conquer”
approach to tackle problems like “Hum and Buzz,” and reveals
practical tips for fixing acoustic feedback.
Digital Audio Networks
This session is designed to offer a
comprehensive introduction to digital
audio networks. It will dramatically shorten your learning curve
for understanding the Dante digital audio network, how it is
applied, and where it is deployed.
