Event Details

Registrants may be eligible to receive a complimentary copy of the standard. Email [email protected] for more information.
About the ACU standard: The performance of a sound system can be characterized by several factors including uniformity of coverage, tonal balance and consistency, gain before feedback, and maximum sound pressure level. This Standard focuses on the uniformity of coverage of a sound system’s early arriving energy to the listener area(s). An ideal sound system design allows all listeners to hear reproduced content at approximately the same sound pressure level independent of the listener’s position in a designated listener area. This performance Standard provides a procedure to measure and a means to classify the uniformity of coverage.
This October webinar will help you:
- Understand the importance of the updated ACU standard.
- Learn about when and where to apply the standard.
