System Engineer Grant:
The recipient requires prior completion or concurrent enrollment to System & Workflow, or previous completion of System Fundamentals. This grant consists of enrollment in the following courses in the L-Acoustics Education Program:
o Soundvision
◊ Learn the most advanced software functionalities for 3D venue modeling, system simulation, and line source optimization.
o Drive System
◊ Master the configuration, control, and monitoring of an L-Acoustics system from the source output to the loudspeaker inputs.
o M1/P1 Measurement & Tuning
◊ Learn how to record measurements with the P1 processor and how to perform a loudspeaker system tuning with the M1 software.
This grant aims to empower the trainee to learn how to design and calibrate an L-Acoustics system. It also aims to deepen the learner’s understanding of:
❑ Soundvision, Network Manager, and M1 software
❑ Room modeling for optimized loudspeaker system design
❑ AVB Milan for audio distribution
❑ Tuning and calibration of an L-Acoustics system using M1 measurement software
Completion of the courses in this grant includes 1-year access to the L-Acoustics Education Platform learning community and content for all the courses.
L-ISA Grant:
The recipient requires prior completion or concurrent enrollment to System & Workflow, or previous completion of System Fundamentals. This grant invites the recipient to attend all the L-ISA-focused courses from L-Acoustics Education:
o L-ISA Technology
◊ Start your immersive journey with an overview of the L-ISA Technology from loudspeaker system design, object-based mixing, and immersive audio algorithms to project workflow.
o L-ISA Loudspeaker System
◊ Master key system engineering steps in planning and deploying L-ISA systems: loudspeaker system design, implementation, and calibration.
o L-ISA Live Mixing
◊ Create an immersive live mix, directly from your desk input channels or from an original left-right mix.
o L-ISA Preproduction
◊ Learn and experience the preproduction process of an L-ISA live event from the studio to the venue, anticipating the constraints of the large scale.
This grant empowers the trainee to design, implement, and calibrate an L-Acoustics L-ISA system. This grant also empowers the trainee to prepare, encode, and control objects in an L-ISA mix as well as create a mix in L-ISA when walking up to a L-ISA system with or without preproduction. It also aims to deepen the student’s understanding of:
❑ L-ISA Controller software and L-ISA Technology
❑ Soundvision, Network Manager, and L-ISA Controller software
❑ Software, processors, and amplified controllers
❑ Good practices for L-ISA-ready loudspeaker system design, implementation, and calibration ❑ Creating and monitoring an L-ISA mix on loudspeakers and in binaural listening environments ❑ Good practices for preproduction and visiting engineer support on a loudspeaker system using L-ISA technology
Completion of the courses in this grant includes 1-year access to the L-Acoustics Education Platform learning community and content for all the courses.
System Expert Grant
This grant consists of enrollment in the following courses in the L-Acoustics Education Program:
o Variable Curvature Line Source
◊ Perfect your understanding of line source behavior to optimize your mechanical design and use of electronic settings.
o Loudspeaker System Calibration
◊ Develop a comprehensive approach to calibration in the entire workflow of a project.
This grant aims to empower the trainee to advance their understanding of system optimization as well as learn about:
❑ Acoustic behavior of a variable curvature line source and its sonic performances over the audience.
❑ Physical deployment of a variable curvature line source so that electronic adjustments become optimization rather than correction.
❑ The goal of a loudspeaker system calibration and its link to the other project stages: design, implementation, and operation.
❑ A rational methodology for the verification, the tuning, and the handover of a loudspeaker system.
❑ Best practices for an accurate and representative measurement of a loudspeaker system frequency response.
Completion of the courses in this grant includes 1-year access to the L-Acoustics Education Platform learning community and content for all the courses.
