Content

COURSE DESCRIPTION

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.

Modern tools like prediction software and affordable analyzers make system design more accessible than ever. But true mastery requires understanding the science behind the tools. Without it, troubleshooting and adapting to real-world challenges becomes guesswork.

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.

Participants will develop critical listening skills alongside technical analysis—connecting what they hear with what they measure. The result is not just proficiency with tools, but a mindset of intentional, predictive, and verified system design.

By the end, attendees will be equipped to design systems with confidence and purpose, ensuring every listener experiences the performance as intended.
