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

Evaluation of study results follows Rules for Studies and Examinations of BUT and Dean's Regulation to the Rules for Studies and Examinations of BUT. Up to 40 points is given for correct results and elaboration of all laboratory exercises. The minimal scale of elaboration of particular laboratory exercises and completive questions are specified by a regulation issued by the guarantee of the course and updated for every academic year. Up to 60 points is given for the final written examination and it is necessary to get at least 15 points for its successful completion. The exam consists of 10 groups of questions in the field of acoustics and electroacoustics according to the subject syllabus and one question is selected from each group.
It is mandatory to pass all laboratory exercises in regular or alternative terms to complete the course. Other forms of the checked instructions are specified by a regulation issued by the guarantee 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.
Graduate of the course is able to:
- name basic acoustic quantities and their units,
- explain physiology of hearing including binaural auditory perception,
- employ sound level meters and use them for noise and electroacoustic measurements,
- describe room acoustic properties, demonstrate measurement of room impulse response and reverberation time, name materials and structures used for room acoustic treatment,
- categorize electroacoustic transducers and state their principles, properties and their use,
- categorize microphones, state their properties and designs, and demonstrate measurement of their characteristics,
- describe properties of designs used for unloaded and loaded loudspeakers, measure and calculate their parameters,
- design loudspeaker systems and measure their characteristics,
- name types of surround sound systems and describe their principle,
- name methods of multichannel sound pickup and explain their principles.
