The knowledge of Yamaha engineers is regularly being used to help a wide range of audio professionals to improve their skills, via teaching documents, a range of seminars and 'hands-on' training programmes.
"In order to design reliable and functional networked audio systems, the application of this complex technology requires a very high level of technical knowledge," says Nils-Peter Keller, YMCE deputy general manager. "Therefore, Yamaha actively provides the knowledge and support required to those who need it."
One such event was an advanced training seminar on audio network design, hosted and run by Yamaha Music Central Europe (YMCE) in Wiehl, Germany. Taking place at the city's Hotel Zur Post over three days recently, the 25 attendees enjoyed advanced training on networked audio system design by YMCE specialists Ron Bakker, Ruben van der Goor, Arthur Koll and Pawel Zachanowizc.
The delegates were all top consultants and system integrators, from throughout central Europe. The curriculum was specially designed for university level engineers and managers and contained advanced information technology design methods, including quality management, network redundancy, safety standards, topology / protocol design and deep integration of audio with, for example, high quality video.
