Program Measurements
The task given was to find the average reverb time of an assigned room at different frequencies. This was completed using the TEF 25, Room EQ Wizard, and individual hand calculations. This is all documented in a multi page report that I can supply if interested.

Live Sound
Venue Budgeting Project
The purpose of this project was to assume the role of an AV system designer to plan out and budget initial and future equipment for a startup performance venue. An initial starting investment of $110,000. After 5 years another investment of $25,000. After five more years a final investment of another $50,000. I was able to find all the needed equipment at all stages of this project. With the remaining money I was able to almost re-build the small setup so there can be multiple setups going at once.
