CEDIA - Fundamentals of Distributed Audio

Home » All Sessions » CEDIA - Fundamentals of Distributed Audio

The purpose of this course is to educate people in the industry about the design and specification of multi-room / multi-zone audio systems. This course focuses on the application of the four primary ways that amplification is provided in distributed audio systems-discrete channel, shared channel, constant voltage, and local amplification. In addition, it provides in-depth coverage of the calculations necessary to determine the required amplification as well as the impedance and power distribution of various configurations. At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:

• Discuss the trade-offs and benefits of discrete channel, shared channel, constant voltage, and local amplification
• Determine the amplification necessary to achieve a target sound pressure level (SPL)
• Calculate the impedance and power distribution within various speaker matrices
• Specify the wiring topology and settings for each amplification type
• Define the procedures necessary to validate and calibrate a distributed audio system
• Determine the required amplification, cooling/ventilation, wire sizes and types, and calculate the pathways and junctions typically used
