Course Content: The two-day course will include both theoretical and practical sessions. Attendees will learn basic measurement and operational concepts through FFT-based (dual-channel) acoustical analysis software platforms, including how to measure and analyse the frequency content of audio signals, study the timing and frequency responses of electro-acoustic systems, and perform basic room acoustics analysis. We recommend that participants download and review the Smaart V8 User Guide before attending the course and bring along a laptop or pen and paper to make notes.

Rasmus Rosenberg, freelance sound engineer and workshop teacher in system design and optimisation for Rhythmic Music Conservatory (RMC) in Copenhagen and KTS (Copenhagen Technical School), among others. Rasmus is a Rational Acoustics Smaart super user, involved in program creation and assisting certified Smaart instructors and distributors. Since 2008 he has had the privilege of being a beta tester for Smaart versions (v7 and v8) before they hit the market.
