This presentation will be hosted by Manny LaCarrubba who will review the basics of loudspeaker design, room acoustics, and loudspeaker-room interactions. Manny will then dive a little deeper into acoustical
measurements and audio system calibration. He’ll then demonstrate the measurement process  and how he goes about calibrating audio systems.
