Abstract:
2016 brought Numerical Optimization to the forefront. Over 50% of the Systems providing reinforcement for today’s audiences either use or have the ability to use computational based optimization technologies to deliver a superior audio experience to the audience. Call it what you will but Array Processing, Adaptive Technology or Numerical Optimization- the Technology is changing how we listen and how we deliver the audience experience. Experts in design and implementation of Optimized Systems will discuss and explain the process – working to demystify and improve the everyday users understanding of what this does for them and their audience.
