Sound Quality | One-day Course – $440
DATES AND TIMES
March 20, 2017 | May 11, 2017 | August 21, 2017
8:30 AM to 4:00 PM (lunch is provided)
SEMINAR OBJECTIVES
This course is intended for anyone who is involved with improving a product’s sound to enhance the product’s overall quality. The course is appropriate for product managers, design engineers, test engineers, and technicians.
The central theme of this course is using your own hearing to guide you in selecting the optimum analyses for the complex sounds generated by your product. A wide range of analysis choices, including those based on the human hearing model and pattern recognition, will be presented along with an explanation of their applicability for a given sound attribute. A brief overview of auditory physiology will lead directly to a more in-depth discussion of psychoacoustics and its interrelationship with sound quality metrics, and the psychology of sound perception. An overview of the process for choosing an appropriate target sound will include an introduction to jury testing techniques and sound design.
Course documentation includes printed material, PowerPointTM presentations, and a library of example sounds for analysis and evaluation. Software to practice listening evaluation and exercise the jury evaluation process is available for hands-on practice of concepts introduced.
