Why Take This Course?

The use of DSP dominates modern life, touching nearly every product that we use daily. In audio, it has facilitated the deployment of analog signal processes such as equalization, delay, and dynamic range control. It has added additional functions such as acoustic echo cancellation and automatic mixing.

Course 120 - Digital Signal Processing presents DSP from an audio perspective. Understanding the universal principles of these processes will help you deploy DSP solutions quickly and effectively, removing the guess-work with regard to DSP settings. This course will help you get a the deep technical understanding required to optimize audio performance on any platform. 

It is brand-agnostic and will benefit the user of any digital processor. It is an ideal prerequisite for any manufacturer’s product-specific training course.

Course 120 – Digital Signal Processing will help you understand:

  • The importance of gain structure with regard to DSP performance 

  • The various types of mixer blocks, including auto-mixers 

  • Digital filters, including “analog-like” IIR filters as well as FIR filters 

  • The meaning of “phase response” and how it is used to classify filters 

  • The use of DSP to optimize the response of a loudspeaker 

  • Advanced processes, such as Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) 

  • Methods for controlling peak and RMS signal levels using DSP
