Designing for Speech Intelligibility: New Training Event Announced!

If you’re an audio engineer, AV engineer, technician, installer, system designer or audio consultant we have some great news for you!

We’ve just added a new training event to our calendar: Designing for Speech Intelligibility.

This training course will teach you everything you need to know about designing sound systems that provide clear, intelligible speech. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on exercises, you’ll learn about the key factors affecting speech intelligibility and how to optimise sound systems for maximum clarity.

Why Speech Intelligibility Matters

Anyone who has ever tried to listen to a conversation in a noisy room or space knows how important speech intelligibility is. In order for messages to be communicated effectively, we need to be able to understand words that are being spoken to us. Often poor speech intelligibility is a common problem in poorly designed sound systems. For example, if the ratio of noise to speech becomes too high, the brain has difficulty decoding the speech signal, leading to frustration and communication breakdowns.

Fortunately, there are proven strategies that audio professionals can use to design sound systems with excellent speech intelligibility. In our Designing for Speech Intelligibility course, you’ll learn about these strategies and how to put them into practice.

We’ll cover topics like loudspeaker selection, Speech Transmission Index, EQ and other forms of signal processing, system alignment and calibration. By the end of the course, you’ll have a complete toolkit for designing clear, intelligible sound systems that will meet the needs of any application.

In today’s world of ever-increasing noise levels, it’s more important than ever to design sound systems that provide clear, intelligible speech. Our new Designing for Speech Intelligibility course will teach you everything you need to know about designing sound systems for maximum clarity.
