Home Acoustic Alliance (HAA) TurboCal / Level I & II

HAA TurboCal Certification Workshop

The one‐day HAA Home Theater Calibration Workshop or as we call it the TurboCal is a new concept to bring audio calibration to a larger audience. The process flow, which includes a Sonic Evaluation phase, Component Verification phase, Design Adjustment Phase, and Electronic Calibration phase, is consistent with CEDIA doctrine and is complimentary to the use the automated calibrations systems found in many receivers. The game‐changing feature of the TurboCal is the ability to complete a system tuning process within a 2 hour time-frame.

The Workshop is a one‐day class which prepares the typical installer to begin calibrating immediately. Enabled by the latest HAA AVPro Report Software on their laptop, the calibrator in the field is led by the software through the work‐flow collecting data and making adjustments culminating in the print‐out of a thorough report presented to the consumer. This is a high value service that clearly enhances performance and adds profitability to every custom project.

Each student is led through an all "Hands‐on" workshop learning all the skills required for success: critical listening, verification of equipment functionality, system layout and design, basic calibration of pre‐pro settings, and the creation of the TurboCal report enabled by the AVPro software.
