The knowledge of basic physical laws is required as well as the knowledge of laws and quantities in electrical circuits, characteristics of electric circuit elements, circuit behaviour with inertia elements, periodical and non-periodical signal spectra, random variables and basic terms from the area of statistics. Students who enrol on the course should be able to use instruments for the measurement of electrical voltage, current, and resonant frequency, waveform generators, and oscilloscopes.

Evaluation of study results follow the BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations and Dean's Regulation complementing the BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Up to 22 points are awarded for the tests in theoretical knowledge in the exercises. Up to 18 points can be obtained for correct results and elaboration of all laboratory exercises. Credit is awarded for completing all laboratory tasks and numeric exercises in the minimal scope. The minimal scope of the elaboration of a particular laboratory exercise are specified by a regulation issued by the guarantor of the course and updated for every academic year. Up to 40 points are given for the final written examination, and it is necessary to get at least 25 points for its successful completion. Up to 20 points are given for the final oral examination and it is necessary to get at least 25 points for its successful completion.
In the case of distance learning, tests in practice are performed remotely in e-learning and laboratory excercises are replaced by homework evaluated with the same number of points. The exam will take place in person, in justified cases remotely.
It is obligatory to undergo all laboratory exercises in regular or alternative terms to complete the course. Other forms of checked instruction are specified by a regulation issued by the guarantor of the course and updated for every academic year.

The aim of the course is to make students familiar with the chain of processing acoustic signals from their origination through their transformation into electric signals and back to acoustic signals up to the listener's final perception.
On completion of the course, students are able to:
- enumerate the basic acoustic quantities and their units,
- explain the physiology of hearing, including binaural auditory perception,
- employ sound level meters and use them for noise and electro-acoustic measurements,
- describe room acoustic properties, demonstrate the measurement of room impulse response and reverberation time, enumerate materials and structures used for modifying the room acoustics
- categorize electro-acoustic transducers and state their principles, properties and use,
- categorize microphones, state their properties and designs, and demonstrate the measurement of their characteristics,
- describe the properties of designs used for unloaded and loaded loudspeakers, measure and calculate their parameters,
- design loudspeaker systems and measure their characteristics,
- enumerate the types of surround sound systems and describe their principle.
