RP32 Audio System Measurement and Verification Workshop

This intensive, hands-on workshop introduces the engineering methodology and recommended
procedures defined in CEDIA’s new upcoming RP-32 Audio System Measurement and
Verification Recommended Practice. It focuses on the critical role of objective measurement and
verification in delivering predictable, repeatable, and high-performance audio systems across
both residential environments.

Participants will explore how measurement and verification form the essential bridge between
design intent and realised performance. The workshop examines how to establish reliable
measurement conditions, select and deploy appropriate instrumentation, and capture
meaningful acoustic and electroacoustic data. Attendees will learn how to interpret
measurement results in the context of system performance, acoustic behaviour, and listener
experience. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing a structured and repeatable
verification workflow. This includes measurement planning, microphone placement strategy,
signal selection, environmental considerations, and data integrity.

The workshop follows a teach-then-apply format, with participants working directly with
professional measurement microphones, analysis software, and verification tools. Through
guided exercises, attendees will gather real-world data, analyse system performance, and
develop a clear understanding of how objective measurements support engineering decisions
and confirm that systems perform as intended.

In addition to measurement techniques, the workshop addresses professional documentation
and reporting. Participants will learn how to present verification data in a clear, structured, and
defensible manner, supporting project sign-off, client communication, and long-term system
maintenance. The emphasis throughout is on adopting an objective, standards-based approach
that aligns system delivery with defined performance targets and engineering best practice.

This workshop is suitable for both newer practitioners seeking to build strong measurement and
verification skills, and experienced professionals who wish to formalise their workflow around
Recommended Practice-based methodologies. It is relevant to integrators, consultants,
manufacturers, and calibration specialists involved in the design, commissioning, and
optimisation of high-performance audio systems.

The course will be taught by Adam Pelz, who Chaired the working group that wrote RP32, and
Peter Aylett, who Chaired the working group that wrote RP22. Both are internationally
recognised practitioners in the design, engineering, and calibration of some of the world’s bestperforming
private cinemas.
