AVIXA has partnered with SynAudCon to expand access to professional audio training.

AVIXA has announced that it now offers SynAudCon's online audio training, one of the leading providers of practical, real-world education for audio professionals at every stage of their careers.

Adding SynAudCon's trusted audio training to our educational offerings reinforces our commitment to the AV community. This agreement creates a seamless pathway to professional audio education while strengthening technical skills and supporting talent development across the professional audiovisual industry, said Pam Taggart, AVIXA's Vice President of Content Creation.

Pat Brown, President of SynAudCon, added: "This partnership combines AVIXA's extensive experience in professional AV education with our courses, which focus on the fundamental principles underlying all audio technologies. It represents a major win for the global audio community".The following four online courses from SynAudCon are now available through AVIXA:

• How Sound Systems Work: Designed for those who are new to audio or have no formal training. The course explains the principles and terminology common to all sound systems.
• Principles of Audio: Provides an overview of the fundamental technical concepts of audio, covering each topic from a practical perspective. It includes industry best practices, troubleshooting techniques, and a deeper understanding of advanced audio principles.
• Transformer-Distributed Loudspeaker Systems: Explores the use of transformers for signal distribution, their effect on applied voltage and current, and how they reflect connected impedance.
• Digital Signal Processing: Introduces the universal principles behind digital signal processing (DSP), enabling participants to deploy DSP solutions quickly and effectively. It is particularly recommended for professionals preparing for manufacturer-specific DSP training courses.

The four online courses feature animations, analogies, interactive calculators, and demonstrations that make it easier to understand the technical concepts used in everyday audio applications.

Purchasing any of these courses also includes one year of access to SynAudCon's forums, where audio professionals from around the world exchange knowledge and experiences on a wide range of audio-related topics. In addition, participants receive 90 days of on-demand access, allowing them to complete the training at their own pace and revisit the course materials whenever needed. These courses are not included with AVIXA membership.
