This advanced workshop will introduce new guidelines outlined in the CEDIA/CTA RP22 Immersive Audio System Design Recommended Practice, with a focus on the four new objectively defined levels of performance that will define different levels of immersive audio experience. We will follow a "teach, then do" approach for the class, with participants working in small groups to apply some of the guidelines to real-world rooms. Specific products and brands will not be discussed, and we will be taking a purely objective engineering approach.

This is not an introductory course and participants are expected to be experienced cinema designers well versed in performance engineering. This course is suitable for integrators, distributors, manufacturers, consultants and anyone who wants to practice standards-based private entertainment space design.

CEDIA/CTA RP22 Immersive Audio System Design Recommended Practice defines objective performance targets for audio system and room design across all private entertainment spaces. Created and peer reviewed by a group of around 40 experts from around the world, and created under ANSI guidelines, it is product and format agnostic.
