It's the RP32 workshop on, um, Monday, right? I think, um, we were just talking about that, weren't we, Jeff?
And that's a hands-on session too where, you know, listen, uh, you're obviously key into the critical performance levels of the audio systems that you're selling.
Um, but this is also gonna help bring those that may perhaps, uh, benefit from learning a little bit more about tweaking those systems that they're, they're installing.
RP32 is really how-- It's a follow-on to RP22, which was a, uh, a, a document on h- how to put together a, a high-quality home, home cinema, high-quality home theater.
It covers, um, you know, evenness of frequency and all these other different metrics.
Um, but it's intentionally a bit high level because it's meant to be a design overview and not, like, how you actually put these things together.
There's gonna be more things that come out, um, from CEDIA on how you put these things together.
But RP32 is a workshop, i- is a, is a standard, and the workshop on Monday going over RP32 is all about how you verify the system that you've put in meets, you know, the, the different performance level criteria that are, that are outlined in RP, in RP22.
So as a calibrator, m- measuring, listening, understanding how A, B, and C translate into one, two, three at the end of the day is really important, and I'm really curious just to, to further in- you know, further improve my game, further up my, up my own skills, um, you know, and learn from some of the best in the industry on, on how they, how they wanna measure and how they want to, to verify performance levels in theaters.
And you know, this is the kind of thing that we've been asked for for many years is, you know, to get some advanced training, advanced technical training.
