Daniel J SaitOn its quest for ‘Commercial Audio, Done Differently’, Optimal Audio has flung open the virtual doors to its training academy. Open 24/7, the Optimal Audio Academy has certification-based courses available to the world and any time that suits.
Simple to navigate, the company says the Optimal Audio Academy complements the ethos of the brand and provides modular training courses to help system integrators and installers understand how to best maximize the portfolio and most importantly the WebApp.
Comprised of a streamlined product offering that works together, the Optimal Audio ecosystem is particularly suited to multi-zoned commercial installations, such as retail and hospitality venues. WebApp, the ‘secret sauce’ of the ecosystem, has been created to make short work of customisable installation parameters and provides an intuitive interface for the end user that’s as straightforward as any smart home appliance, says the company. Set up is already simple, but the courses at Optimal Audio Academy unlock the power of intuitive system set up and control for fast and functional installations.
Straightforward structure
Built as a modular course, there are currently three levels of training available. These offer all the support installers need to design and install the Optimal Audio ecosystem. Level one gives an introduction to the building blocks of the brand, its products and applications.
Those looking for a deeper dive can quickly move onto course level two where further insight into the Zone series and WebApp will open the doors to more polished and efficient installations. This course is designed to improve deliverability in small to medium-sized multi-zone installations.
Level three of the course, which is still in the works and will be hosted at the online study facility in the future, promises to elevate installers to Optimal Audio Aficionado. A simple online test at the end of each course level will afford certification to all those who pass with scores above 75%.
The provider says the Optimal Academy provides the extra ingredient needed to spice up installations at the design stage as well as on site. Just one of the benefits is that installers are taken through a few standard-sized installations so that everything flows as expected for a swift and trouble-free installation. The courses also prompt those extra ideas – the ‘nice to haves’ that customers might not realise will help their business.
The company’s aim it to add powerful yet simplistic performance to small to medium commercial audio installations. Optimal Audio Academy supports installers, providing them with a toolkit at their fingertips to confidently design, install and activate simplistic yet sophisticated Optimal Audio commercial audio systems at the speed of sound.
