Bob McCarthy* will teach Meyer’s four-day course, SIM 3 Training and System Design, at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in NYC on May 18-21, 2009, immediately following Live Design’s Broadway Sound Master Classes. All attendees at the BSMC are eligible to win free tuition for this class in a special drawing to be held this week.
This in-depth seminar provides participants with a thorough theoretical and operational understanding of source independent measurement and a solid grounding in application of SIM analysis in the design of complex audio systems. The seminar gives a brief review of SIM theory and system development, followed by a comprehensive discussion of field use procedures for the SIM 3 audio analyzer. The seminar then extends the foundation of SIM measurement into sound system design. Participants will look at the complex interactions of loudspeakers in a variety of configurations and acoustical environments from the standpoints of phase, frequency and impulse responses. Participants should bring their own Internet-ready laptop computer, but need not bring their SIM 3 units.
Built on almost 20 years of research and development, ongoing worldwide field testing and award-winning, breakthrough technology, the SIM 3 audio analyzer system is the newest generation of acoustical audio analysis in an integrated hardware and software package. In the field or on the bench, the SIM 3 system analyzes entire sound systems as easily as it verifies the performance of individual electronic components.
If you are a BSMC attendee and would like to win a pass to attend this class, please email Ellen Lampert-Gréaux at [email protected], and your name will be entered in the drawing.
