Acoustics has most of the time been a no-man’s land when it comes to facilities that house AV setups. Apart from that, acoustics is a topic either not known or ignored by customers and AV professionals alike. At times, acoustics is done by a few companies that don’t understand the fundamentals of acoustics, and they survive by taking customers on a ride, highlighting just a couple of parameters, and giving good looks, but unfortunately ignoring the acoustic performance. In this short interactive lecture, we will touch on the basics of acoustics, key parameters, the importance of acoustics in AV installations, etc.
