The art and science of sound system design is one of the great passions of the electronic age. While the proper setup of a media room remains the subject of numerous articles and manufacturer discussions, no serious effort has been made to standardize and demystify the actual process of reproducing great sound; and no beginning to end audio training has existed. Our brothers-in-arms at ISF have had great success defining what video calibration means and today “ISF” means as much as a verb as it does as a name. While it is obvious that there are many opinions about the audio process, the HAA philosophy has been and will continue to be one of collaboration with its members, manufacturers, consumers and the academic community. Along with its long standing goal of supporting its members professionally, the HAA continues to strive to take the collaborative knowledge of a mature industry to create and market a reliable process for audio calibration. This class is our latest step toward disseminating that process and perhaps moving closer to making “HAA” a verb in its own right. Today we begin learning what it means to “HAA Level II” a system.

Advanced Practical Training

The Level II HAA Certification Seminar is a
structured three day workshop focusing on the art and science of Home Theater Audio Calibration. Qualified students must have attended the Level I Seminar or Level I Prep Course within one year; Level I Certification is not required. Level I lays the
theoretical groundwork for the Level II workshop. Look for Level I Prep Courses or special rates for Level I Alumni on Level I seminars. In order to facilitate the best environment for a "hands on" workshop, teams of no more than 4 to 5 students
per room will be formed. The workshop consists of a
series of self paced labs over three days. Each Level II student team will design and calibrate a high performance audio system; all work is hands on in the theater room. Students will learn operation of measurement tools, speaker placement, subwoofer
calibration, listener placement, acoustical treatment
placement, process documentation and extensive
listening training. Certification is based upon successful completion of the Workshop Team Analysis Report (50%) during the class and completion of an individual Analysis Report ompleted on a system of the students choice; final practical is due with 60 days of class. While Level I Certification is not required to attend the Level II Workshop, it must be completed to obtain the Level II Certification. 20% rescheduling fee. NOTICE: No rescheduling within 30 days prior to
class date.
