“The art and practice of system alignment is as varied and expanding as the people, equipment and applications that encompass the field. Anyone that understands their tools can create new and effective ways to use them, and our goal is to help that process along for the benefit of the measurement community as a whole.”
- Jamie Anderson

Anderson and his cohorts - Calvert Dayton, Adam Black and Karen Anderson - have just launched Rational Acoustics LLC, a new entity based in Connecticut devoted exclusively to the increasingly important specialty field of sound system optimization. This group of pro audio veterans is firmly focused on providing a range of training classes and product sales for acoustic test and measurement, and system alignment, with the company also developing a variety of new system alignment software and hardware products.

Classes offered by Rational Acoustics address both general system alignment theory/practice and specific product training. “Right now our product-focused training is specific to (EAW) Smaart because that is where the majority of us have recently come from,” says Anderson. “But as we continue to grow, we’ll include other measurement platforms. We’re not promoting a single product or solution, rather we’re here to provide the best range of technologies, techniques, tools and practices to help people get their jobs done.”
