Course 50 – How Sound Systems Work
Ideal for those new to audio, Course 50 introduces the core principles, terminology, and signal-chain concepts behind sound systems so learners can make better decisions about cables, connectors, microphones, and loudspeakers with confidence.
Course Description
If you are fairly new to audio or do not have any formal training, this is a good place to start. The course will lay down the principles and terminology that apply to all sound systems. It will help you understand how things work so that you can choose the right cable, connector, mic, or loudspeaker to get the job done. Potentially complicated topics are explained with graphics and animation, with liberal use of analogies to principles from daily life. This SynAudCon training is available through AVIXA and includes 90 days of on-demand access allowing you to learn at your own pace and revisit course materials whenever needed.
This course and Course 100 – Principles of audio lay a lot of the foundational principles for the rest of our courses.

What does “0 dB” mean?
