The Man Behind the M / Barnie Has 2 Ears for Tuning
In this two-part session, the first hour features The Shape of Sound: A Driver Design Presentation by Renowned Audio Engineer Giuliano Nicoletti. Designer of the ‘M’ profile drivers from Focal’s Utopia and K2M Power speaker lines, Nicoletti’s experience in sound engineering spans more than two decades culminating in his current position as Senior Electro Acoustic Engineer at Focal-JMlab. This engaging presentation will focus on the evolution of cone design into its current shape, the selection of materials and the impact of both on the production of quality audio. In the second hour, we introduce B.A.R.N.I.E., the most accurate in-vehicle sound measurement technology available. Barnie simplifies vehicle tuning with ears that hear the way you do, enabling one click to automate time and phase alignment, and equalization.

The new ISA (Input Signal Analyzer) will be covered in-depth; understand how the new feature set will help you measure and correct OEM phase EQ, time alignment and loudness contours. Tired of not understanding why some OEM source units just never seem to properly interface with your system design? Florian will present a live demonstration of how a Class SB output, as found on many of todays new vehicle audio systems, wreak havoc on most high level input circuitry and how Audiotec Fischer avoids these problems. We will also demonstrate how our amplifier power supply design differs from the norm. You will leave this session with a better understanding of OEM audio systems, and how to incorporate Audiotec Fischer’s tools to confidently integrate into these systems!  ​

​​MasterTech training opened my eyes to new fabrication methods and motivated me to be better at my job every day. If not for attending multiple MasterTech sessions over the years, I’d never have had the opportunity to join the team of talented professionals at West Coast Customs. I’m looking forward to attending the MasterTech Expo in March 2022. The collaborative, hands-on nature of the training is a game-changing career boost and I highly recommend it.

​​Attending past MasterTech training classes was an amazing experience! A clearly outlined curriculum, fabricating a class project, and the exposure to incredible tips and tricks from some of the best talent in the industry. MasterTech training guided us every step of the way and the manner in which topics are taught really made learning new fabrication techniques super simple! I am looking forward to attending MasterTech Expo to expand my learning, as well as rub elbows with fellow professionals with whom I’ve made lifelong friendships! MasterTech Expo is going to be a great experience!
