NMK used its Dubai Silicon Oasis facility to host its Academy 3.0 series of educational events. The first three events saw presentations from Rational Acoustics, Rane and Cloud.

Rational Acoustics’ Smaart training was presented by Jamie Anderson and covered the fundamentals of dual-channel sound system measurement Smaart software operation as well as the practical application of the analyser in pro audio work. It attracted a mixture of the attendees from the UAE as well as Lebanon and Nigeria. The last day, where Mr Anderson concentrated on practical use of the application proved to be the most popular.

The Rane session was presented by Dean Standing and covered the manufacturer’s HAL hardware and software. NMK used the seminar to educate the attendees about the product’s essential features and its use in their work environment. There was a general level of satisfaction from attendees with positive comments about Mr Standing’s 'clear explanation’ as well as his elaboration on ‘technical details which are important during design and installations’. The general consensus was the session was ‘informative and updated’.

Simon Curtis led the Cloud seminar to an audience from the design and install market. The seminar covered the basics about the company and its build process as well as zoning paging and messaging using Cloud products and the unique properties of CAM/CAS.

Attendees were reportedly appreciative of the way all Cloud’s products were covered and the way it provided a better understanding of the company. Equally the audience liked that they got an understanding of the application and functionality of Cloud’s systems and how its products are relevant to A/V designs.

NMK is hopeful this event has ‘opened the door to new possibilities for this brand’.
