SoundGirls L-Acoustics Grants

SoundGirls L-Acoustics Grants

 

L-Acoustics is offering 4 grants for courses in the L-Acoustics Education Program. The Education Team has structured the grants to relate to certain job profiles to help the recipient advance their knowledge and skills in their respective fields:

These grants focus on offering access to in-person training via our packaged seminars. For in-person attendance of courses, hotel accommodations are included with the grant. Grant recipients are responsible for any additional travel expenses. If the recipient is unable to attend an in-person training within 4 months before the grant expiration date or the recipient demonstrates a financial hardship with attending an in-person training, the recipient will be offered online training options instead. 

Prospective candidates must be members of SoundGirls and have until September 1, 2023, to submit their application. Winners will be announced on the website and social media by September 30, 2023. Candidates can only apply for one choice of grant.

The recipient can choose to attend the courses at any time within the 1-year time frame starting from the time of being informed of their award.

System Technician Grant

This grant consists of enrollment in the following courses in the L-Acoustics Education Program:

System & Workflow 

Establish your role in the L-Acoustics ecosystem and align your practice with the latest tools and state-of-the-art workflow

K System of choice (K1, K2, K3, Kara II, or Kiva II) or L2 Training

Recognize the standard configurations of the benchmark Kx or L2 system and gain hands-on experience rigging and listening to them.

L-Acoustics System Implementation

Advance your skills in implementing a safe and functional L-Acoustics system and prepare it for calibration.

This grant aims to empower the trainee to learn how to mount, rig, cable, and connect an L-Acoustics system.

It also aims to give the learner knowledge of:

  • Introduction to the L-Acoustics Ecosystem
  • Basic understanding of the Soundvision and Network Manager software
  • Mount and rig an L-Acoustics system safely and prepare it for calibration
  • Use and deployment of a K System

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 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:

Soundvision

Learn the most advanced software functionalities for 3D venue modeling, system simulation, and line source optimization.

Drive System

Master the configuration, control, and monitoring of an L-Acoustics system from the source output to the loudspeaker inputs.

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:

L-ISA Technology

Start your immersive journey with an overview of the L-ISA Technology from loudspeaker system design, object-based mixing, immersive audio algorithms to project workflow.

L-ISA Loudspeaker System

Master key system engineering steps in planning and deploying L-ISA systems: loudspeaker system design, implementation, and calibration. The grant allows access to online or onsite training for this course.

L-ISA Live Mixing

Create an immersive live mix, directly from your desk input channels or from an original left-right mix.

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 an 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:

Variable Curvature Line Source

Perfect your understanding of line source behavior to optimize your mechanical design and use of electronic settings. 

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 to 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 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.
