Today is the first of 4 days with Bob “606”.

I’ll do my best to gather as much information as possible and report back each day.

The end of our Day 1 class morphed into a meeting between Harry Brill Jr’s Smaart 7 class and our group at a nearby tavern with a few guest SIM3 engineers attending (Dave Lawler & Craig Doubet). It was great to talk with people from the Smaart class and hear what they’re going over. If the classes hadn’t overlapped, I would of taken both classes…

Next time!

FYI, Harry Brill Jr. has some good reference stuff on his Tiger Audio website.

But enough about Smaart & socializing…

What did Bob talk about on Day 1?

1. Frequency / Time
2. Transmission speed
3. Transmission loss
4. Temp & Humidity
5. Frequency range
6. Wavelength
7. dB scale
8. Coverage angle
9. Coverage shape
10. Beamwidth
11. Summation amplitude
12. Summation phase
13. Coupled arrays
14. Uncoupled arrays

Even with lots of questions, we apparently made it through the desired information for day 1!!!

In case you’re wondering, pretty much everything Bob covered today is included in his book, “Sound Systems – Design & Optimization”
bobmccarthy.com – Sound Systems Design and Optimization book

We may have covered a few things that aren’t in the book due to questions but 99% of the information came out of the book. If you don’t have it, GET IT!

Stay tuned for DAY 2 post…
