Overview
In this course, you'll learn the basics of sound transmission in an acoustic environment. You'll gain an understanding of how acoustic behaviour affects our perception of sound and the important role of physical factors, such as studio design. You'll also learn about the proper placement of loudspeakers, how audio signals are manipulated, recorded, and distributed and how digital audio is created and transmitted. Lastly, in this course you'll examine unique audio workflows such as Ethernet audio and the appropriate technology support for each flow.
Upon successful completion of this course, you'll have an understanding of:
- acoustical sound transmission
- human perception of sound (psychoacoustics)

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
