NEW!!!! Smaart Additional Elective Module

Date/Time: 16 April, 2014 - 6:00PM to 9:00PM Location: Same as Smaart course* Cost: $50 CAD

Smaart Additional Elective Modules (AEM) are specially designed presentations focusing on one particular area of interest in live or installed sound system optimization. This AEM will focus on Subwoofer Arrays and Alignment. As subwoofer arrays gain an ever-increasing role in the overall sound system and stringent requirements imposed on focusing the direct sound in specific areas without spillage, properly aligned subwoofer systems and arrays are critical. Participation in this AEM is strictly optional* and it assumes attendees have a working knowledge of Smaart v.7. Computers and measurement systems are not required.
