OPTIMUS offers the industry a tool featuring calculators, glossary, regulations, and specialized technical training.
The Spanish company has launched Optimus Academy, a free-access technical training platform designed for industry professionals, installers, specifiers, and students.
Essential knowledge for better decision-making
Optimus Academy was born from more than 90 years of experience working with clients. The platform directly addresses the questions and needs identified in the industry, offering a space dedicated to sharing knowledge and helping professionals grow.
The platform provides content designed to build a solid foundation of technical knowledge and to resolve common questions in the design and installation of professional audio systems.
Practical tools and technical resources
Optimus Academy currently includes a comprehensive set of technical calculators to facilitate system design and sizing. These include tools for calculating cable section, power, distance, and sound pressure level (SPL), as well as specific calculators to determine the required number of loudspeakers by type (ceiling, horn, projector, column, cabinet, sphere) and installation setup.
The platform also features a complete technical glossary organized by thematic areas: physical acoustics and electroacoustics, basic electronics, protocols and equipment, public address and voice alarm (including regulations, functions, technical concepts, and devices), intercom, cables, and connectors. The explanations are clear and direct, allowing technicians, installers, and specifiers to understand essential terminology and make well-informed decisions.
The regulations section provides up-to-date information on the regulatory framework applicable to public address and voice alarm installations, helping ensure compliance with the required standards for each type of project.
Continuous training and ongoing evolution
The Academy is designed as an ever-evolving project. Soon, it will include training videos on OPTIMUS products, micro-courses on specific industry topics, webinars with company professionals, and customized training sessions tailored to each client or group’s needs.
Training is a fundamental part of how OPTIMUS works with partners and clients. Optimus Academy complements the OPTIMUS 360 Experience program, the comprehensive support system covering all stages from pre-sales to after-sales. Well-trained partners develop better projects, which is why the company provides both accessible technical knowledge and personalized support at every stage.
The platform will continue to grow with new training content. Soon, OPTIMUS professionals will share their hands-on experience through exclusive materials, allowing users to learn directly from specialists with decades of experience in the industry.
Free and universal access
Optimus Academy is completely free to access. The platform is available from any device, allowing users to consult content anytime, anywhere.
The knowledge you need, when you need it — right at your fingertips, anywhere — sums up the philosophy of this initiative, which reinforces OPTIMUS’s commitment to the professional development of the industry.
