Note about late signups: As training starts imminently, we do not have time to ship demo keys. This means that in order to participate fully, you must have a relatively up-to-date (version 20 or 21) hardware key available to use. If you do not, you can still follow along with the training in demo mode, but you will be unable to complete some of the hands-on exercises.

SoundCheck Online Advanced Training, November 2022

Registration is now open for our Online SoundCheck Advanced Training class from November 15th-17th. Advanced training is designed for users familiar with the content of the basic class who need to make more complex measurements and want to take their SoundCheck use to the next level.

Sign up early to secure your spot!  Registration closes on November 7th, and a 5% early booking discount will apply to all registrations received by Sept 16th.

Dates: November 15th, 16th, 17th.

Time: 3 x 2hr sessions from 11.00am-1.00pm Eastern US Time (8.00am-10.00am Western US Time)

Instructors: Steve Temme and Mark Latshaw

 

Course Outline

November 15th: Advanced Sequence Development
This session continues where basic sequence development left off, covering topics such as advanced stimulus and analysis options, conditional branching and looping, advanced post-processing algorithms and more.

November 16th: Advanced Measurement Techniques
This session will cover two popular and rapidly growing measurement techniques, open loop testing and simulated free field measurement. Open loop testing (including Bluetooth) will discuss in detail the considerations when making open loop measurements, and examine in detail the advanced triggering options available in SoundCheck. The Splice method of obtaining simulated free field measurements was developed by Steve Temme almost 20 years ago and is currently surging in popularity due to its ability to offer reliable measurements in an office or home environment.

November 17th: Advanced Distortion Measurements
Steve Temme takes a deeper dive into the mechanics of distortion and the various distortion measurement techniques available in SoundCheck. Part educational, part SoundCheck instruction, he covers causes and analysis of THD, higher order harmonic distortion, loose particle detection and perceptual distortion methods.
