SynAudCon announces an educational seminar providing a comprehensive introduction to emergency communication systems to be held in the Washington D.C. area on November 9-12, 2016.
Important changes in NFPA72 include allowing the use of the house sound system for emergency announcements, and permitting ECS messages to be transported on a data network.
These provisions open a new market for the sound reinforcement industry and an opportunity for collaboration between the sound reinforcement and fire alarm/mass notification industries. More than ever, sound systems must be designed for high speech intelligibility.
The emergency communication systems event will be available in two parts.
Part 1: Design – Nov. 9-10, 2016. Pat Brown will present a system design process designed to produce intelligible speech in the presence of noise and/or reverberation.
Part 2: Deployment – Nov. 11-12, 2016. Instructors: Wayne Moore, Larry Rietz and Sander van Wijngaarden
This expert staff will show you how to capitalize on fire code changes that will affect you and your company. Topics include understanding the code, integrating the ECS with the sound system and then testing it.
Special event class size is limited. This event will sell out. Do not delay. Approved for 32 Renewal Units. Purchase includes one-year SynAudCon membership.
Price: $800 each. Attend both events for $1500.
