Description

Objective:

The course objective is to prepare students for completion of Sound Reinforcement, Level I. This is an advanced course offered through the NJATC which deals with a specific class of audio systems which is properly referred to as a reinforcement system. Its purpose is to give the student the understanding necessary to design and operate moderate-scale reinforcement systems. Students will learn the fundamental characteristics of this signal and show how it relates to frequency. It begins by defining what a sound is and how sound is measured using dynamic range. It also explores the impact that the environment has on sound systems, both indoors and outdoors. The student will also explore the data structure of MIDI and sound synchronization.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Define what a sound is and how sound is measured using dynamic range
  • Identify the impact that the environment has on sound systems
  • Determine what is necessary to design and operate moderate-scale reinforcement systems
  • Interpret specification which provides insight into the quality of design and construction
  • Explore microphones, loudspeakers, and mixers
  • Identify sound system interconnection, test equipment, and electronics
