MUSI 2510 Sound Engineering Arts I: Fundamentals and Transducers

The primary goal of this course is to provide an in-depth discussion of transducers and transducer theory as it relates to audio engineering including: microphone theory and types, magnetic recording principles and applications, mixing console signal flow and design, and loudspeaker theory and design. Primary auditory physiology and theory are presented and principles of wave motion, electricity, and acoustics are introduced. Students will submit written homework assignments, daily journal entries, and keep a comprehensive notebook of all class information as well as related audio information gathered through other readings and experiences. This is a writing and technology intensive course. Students will be charged an additional Electronic Music Fee when enrolling in this course. Prerequisite(s): MUSI 1510
