I hope to take more, if not all, of you courses. B.R.

SynAudCon is the “standard” the audio industry needs to train all technicians. D.N.
Pat’s enthusiasm for audio made this stimulating / not tedious. Pat’s “tribal knowledge” of common problems, errors, work-rounds and why things were done helps understand others’ misunderstandings. E.A.
Great Seminar! I wish I would have attended this training much earlier in my career. J.H.
As always, the class experience was outstanding. It was very refreshing to go through all of class material, some as a review, but also with new information and way to understand techniques and science. Many thanks! D.T.

I always enjoy these seminars. The science demonstrations, practicality, and knowledge has always been valuable for me; as well as the tools. K.vH.
Coming from a non-audio background, it was good to understand how audio “works” in terms of volts, amps, watts, and impedance. I feel more comfortable knowing the “reasoning” vs just knowing the “facts”. No Name on Evaluation
I love having a good understanding of the “how and why” of the equipment that I work with. No Name on the Evaluation

Highly useful information presented by an excellent instructor. He used high class presentations, demos and technical content. I learned a lot during the seminar and it is already making a big difference for me at work. The new knowledge that our team has gained from this seminar will directly translate into better products. D.J.
I found this class to be the perfect introduction to concepts that are so fundamental, yet not well understood. Having two degrees in electrical engineering, this class was the perfect bridge to understand how the electrical concepts are realized in the audio space. I am so glad I attended!! M.M.
Brenda, please convey my thank-you and appreciation to Pat and of course you for keeping everything on schedule. I really enjoyed the class and sorry that I didn’t start attending them sooner. It was very informative. I will use the CAF a lot. M.M.

I really appreciate the opportunity to attend this class. It reinforced the principles that I have been using and opened the door to many others. K.K.
I have a 4-year degree in Music Technology. Within those 4 years, we covered the same information, however I was never able to get any of my professors to explain the terms and concepts in such in-depth detail as Pat Brown did in two days. The visual examples and demos were very helpful. KK
Loved it! BA
This course is “worth its time” would be the understatement of the year. The information is incredibly vital to the fundamental development of an audio tech. I have not found in 10 years of live audio, a more concentrated source of quality information. AS
Demonstrations were very helpful in understanding concepts for those unfamiliar with sound. No name.
Pat Brown did a great job explaining the materials including the founding principles. If you are new to the world of audio or a seasoned pro, I recommend this course. TW
I liked the real-life examples along with the data files. Pat is really good at presenting in a way that is easy to to understand. TT
Pat is extremely knowledgeable. It was fun to see his take on the basics right up to the complex topics. More than expected – thanks for the great training. no name
Pat is an amazing teacher. Some of the topics moves a little quickly, but Pat was able to field my questions. This course was really beneficial and I would recommend this course to anyone who has experience in audio. BA
Of all the training seminars I have taken, this one has been the most informative and easy to understand. KD
I enjoyed the demos as they helped explained the complex topics. I also like the in-depth responses to the questions. CH
I really like that you brought in equipment to really go in depth. Seeing the demos gives me a much better view. EH
Big fan of the analogies. Many of the concepts I knew but you went in greater detailed than ever explained to me. TN
The demonstrations were great. Seeing instead of just reading makes it much clearer. SL
The material is too complex for someone with no audio knowledge. It would be more beneficial to me to have taken more intro courses on the subject. I am more of a “IT Guy”. JZ
Brenda’s communication was awesome. Her help with travel arrangements were extremely appreciated. HB
This training has paid off.
I can’t tell you how much the Sound Reinforcement for Technician s training has paid off since I have taken the class!!!
With MANY thanks,
Christopher Koehler, CTS
It totally blew away my expectations.
I really enjoyed the class last week. I’m really looking forward to using the knowledge in our classroom audio designs. Both you and Pat should be proud of the work you do in putting on these seminars. The class was very entertaining, it moved alone well and was very informative. It totally blew away my expectations.
Thanks again for a wonderful 3 days, I hope that I can attend another one of your seminars in the future.
