Jamie Anderson

Co-founder and instructor, Rational Acoustics

Major contribution

Jamie Anderson has advanced live-sound system measurement and alignment through Rational Acoustics and practical SIM and Smaart instruction.

Anderson is the Rational Acoustics educator and entrepreneur, not another performer or engineer of the same name. He co-founded the company with Karen Anderson, Adam Black and Calvert Dayton in 2008.

His instructional work focuses on sound-system engineering, measurement and alignment. Rational Acoustics documents his teaching of both SIM and Smaart, while Live Design describes his practical system-tuning instruction for live-sound engineers.
