Sound System Design and Optimization
What I Do
-
I specialize in designing and tuning sound systems to achieve high levels of consistency over the entire coverage area, helping to put great sound in every seat, whether there’s 20 seats or 20,000. See recent projects…
-
I’ve worked with venues, vendors, manufacturers and companies of all sizes to help them get the most out of their system deployments, and design and alignment skills.
I’ve also spearheaded product launches for multiple major audio manufacturers.
-
My book, “Between the Lines: Concepts in Sound System Design and Alignment” documents my approach and process for designing and tuning sound systems. More…
-
I’ve published over 50 technical articles on sound systems and related topics. I’ve also written user guides and technical documentation for audio products and manufacturers.
Visit my ProSoundWeb author archive.
I also provide technical editing services for audio publications. Projects include Live Sound International, Church Sound, ProSoundWeb.com, The Audio Expert by Ethan Winer and Introduction to Show Networking and Introduction to Show Control by John Huntington.
-
I’m a co-creator and Governance Board member of the HELA (Healthy Ears, Limited Annoyance) Initiative to train and certify live events personnel in responsible sound level management.
