AudioForum, organized by Connessioni in cooperation with AES - Audio Engineering Society, is a full day educational event dedicated to audio professionals, systems integrators, installers. AudioForum is an educational event that condenses in one day seminars, workshops, updating, networking and conviviality. Audio Forum is part of the official education program of ISE and is supported by ISE itself. AudioForum@ISE2018 will present: Audio Networking, from the Digital Audio protocols to Audio over IP

AudioForum is an educational event started by Connessioni, ISE Media Partner, in 2013. Among the different opportunities offered by the industry, AudioForum is exclusively dedicated to the Audio community, but with a wide perspective: audio in integrated projects needs to consider integration with other technologies, installation problems, rules, durability, design needs… An unique opportunity for widening your knowledge, but also for developing new contacts and sharing experience and ideas, with colleagues, peers and companies.

AudioForum makes the bridge between pro audio and systems integration.

Who should participate

AudioForum@ISE2017 is dedicated to consultants, sound and system designers, system integrators, installers, companies and anyone interested in knowing more about the latest audio technologies

10,45-11,15
11,15-11,45	Break
11,45 – 12,15	Pretty good practice Three steps to ensure a stimulating audio environment. How to identify digital content that does not fatigue listeners, easy procedures to prevent audio levels from jumping between tracks, and why installing loudspeakers is very different from installing lamps: each loudspeaker has to be adjusted after placement, or sound quality becomes random.	Thomas Lund – Senior Scientist, Genelec Profile Thomas Lund – Senior Scientist, Genelec Thomas has taken part in global audio standardisation and developed hi-end audio processors. From a background in medicine and perception, Thomas is responsible for subjective research at Genelec, and convenor under the European Commission for prevention of hearing loss in personal players.
