Loudspeakers & Systems
Workshop Details
In this workshop, d&b goes deep into the details of loudspeakers and how they work within our larger systems. Expect plenty of hands-on time with gear and numerous listening examples.
The first part of the day we’ll be discussing problems we face with acoustics and speakers systems, including some approaches to try and solve them. Later, we’ll move into the science behind how we hear and how that will influence future tech. This is a workshop where the lab coats and the hoodies come together to help us better use loudspeaker systems.
