Webinars | Technical Training from PLACID Instruments

PLACID Instruments hosts technical webinars on acoustic measurement, calibration methodology, data acquisition, and application-specific measurement techniques. Sessions are designed for practising measurement engineers, acousticians, quality assurance professionals, and researchers who need to deepen their technical understanding of precision acoustic measurement.

Webinar sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes including a Q&A segment. They are recorded and made available to registrants after the session. Topics are selected based on recurring technical questions from our customer base and on new standards releases or methodology changes that affect measurement practice.
