Private, In-House AoIP/AVoIP Training — For Your Team, On Your Systems

This isn’t a generic slide deck. Every session is scoped to your actual stack — the consoles, switches, and standards you run — delivered remotely or on-site to your team specifically. Your engineers walk away able to commission and troubleshoot your network, not a generic one.

How It Works

1. Enquiry
Tell me about your team and your systems

2. Scoping call
We work out what your team actually needs

3. Tailored session(s)
Delivered remote or on-site

4. Follow-up support
Questions after the fact don’t stop when the session ends

The Courses

Audio-Centric Networking

The foundation course — for teams working across audio and video IP networks.

Networking fundamentals: IP, MAC, subnets, VLANs, DHCP
Discovery, control, clocking & streaming protocols
Multicast, IGMP snooping, QoS
Hands-on troubleshooting workshop

Outcome: design, commission, and troubleshoot a small AoIP network.

Systems Reliability & Structured Diagnostics

For teams who need to find the fault, not just describe it.

Root-cause analysis methodology
Reading logs on macOS and Windows
Clock failures, buffer & storage bottlenecks
Fault-injection assessment — diagnose a broken system live

Outcome: a repeatable method for finding root cause, not just symptoms.

Dante Certification Prep

Get your team toward formal Audinate accreditation.

Structured prep toward Dante Certification Levels 1 and 2, taught by someone holding Level 3.

Format & Logistics

Delivery: remote or on-site (Barcelona-based, serving Europe)
Group size, duration, and depth: scoped to your team during the discovery call
Materials: workshop exercises and reference material included

Secondary Modules

Foundational add-ons for teams that need to build up from the basics:

Audio Technology Training (Basic)

Signal chain, electroacoustics, console architecture, gain staging.

Audio Technology Training (Advanced)

Acoustics, dynamics and time-domain processing, digital recording, clocking, codecs.

“Maciej helped me out a while back when I was doing a mix for Coldplay and I was having computer problems… he got to the cause of the problem quickly and fixed the issue for me.”
Rik Simpson — Grammy Award-winning producer, Coldplay
