Summary of content

This module is designed to develop students' knowledge in advanced techniques and technologies that are commonly used in acoustic modelling and spatial audio applications.

With regard to acoustic modelling the module introduces the theoretical basis for modelling packages allying this to current uses within industry. The students will have an opportunity to compare the results of acoustic models with that of actual test results made in a student led measurement process.

Spatial audio plays an ever increasing part of the audio experience in many areas including film, TV and games. The module explores the developments in spatial audio recording, production and reproduction. Finally, students are given the opportunity to put into practice the techniques and technologies used in current spatial audio development.
