CEDIA to host first RP32 audio workshop at CEDIA Expo

CEDIA will introduce its RP32: Audio System Measurement and Verification Workshop in North America for the first time at the CEDIA Education Conference during CEDIA Expo 2026. Led by industry experts Adam Pelz, Matt Poes and Tom Dellicompagni, the full-day, hands-on course is based on CEDIA's RP32 Recommended Practice, which provides a structured, repeatable approach to measuring and verifying audio system performance. The workshop also covers verification against the performance targets set out in CEDIA RP22 for immersive audio system design.

CEDIA’s latest Recommended Practice RP32 outlines objective, repeatable methods for measuring and verifying audio system performance.

It provides a structured process to ensure that completed systems meet the intended design goals and client expectations. Importantly, RP32 incorporates verification against the performance parameters defined in CEDIA RP22: Immersive Audio System Design, allowing integrators to demonstrate whether a system achieves the targeted RP22 performance level.

The full-day, hands-on workshop introduces the recommended procedures of RP32 and gives participants practical experience using a range of measurement tools and software. Attendees will learn how to gather reliable data, interpret results, and document system performance in a consistent and professional manner.

The course is suitable for both residential and commercial applications and is designed to support newer practitioners as well as experienced professionals who want to adopt a recommended practice-based approach to system verification.

CEDIA suggests that by the end of the workshop, participants will be able to describe and apply RP32 methodology, perform objective, repeatable system measurements, and RP22 system verification.

“CEDIA Expo is the ideal place to introduce the RP32 Workshop to a broader audience of industry professionals looking to strengthen their technical expertise,” said Paul Dolenc, Vice President of Education and Training at CEDIA. “This hands-on course gives attendees practical experience with measurement and verification procedures that support more consistent, reliable system performance. Participants will walk away with valuable skills they can apply immediately across both residential and commercial projects.”

Taking place on 31 August at the Colorado Convention Center, the workshop is open to both newcomers and experienced professionals.

Early bird registration is available until 17 July, priced at $299 for CEDIA members and $499 for non-members, with standard rates increasing thereafter.
