Rules of Competition
IASCA SQC
Goals
The competitor’s goal is to build and tune a sound system to reproduce the source material, so that it
gives an accurate and realistic reproduction of the original music from a technical standpoint. To create the illusion of listening to the live performance being played.
utilizing the specified tracks listed for each judging section of the sound rules.
-
For systems without a CD player, an alternate source unit such as an iPod, MP3 player, memory card or flash drive may be used. It is the competitor’s responsibility to provide the Judge with the unit to be used; the Judge will upload the music from the IASCA Sound Quality Reference CD to the unit for judging, then delete the files once judging is completed.
-
Judges will utilize the stage maps (as found in these rules) and track maps (In the CD liner notes) to determine some of the sound judging criteria, as required.

Intent
The intent of IASCA’s Sound Quality Challenge format and its rules is to provide a fair, fun and
unbiased sound judging format , evaluating automotive sound systems in seven critical areas of
sound reproduction: System Safety, Track List, Tonal Accuracy, Sound Stage, Imaging, Noise and System Control Operation.
The main premise of evaluation is to Judge the system as it would be used in a real world and real use application.
Purpose
The purpose of IASCA SQC is to determine which competing system in each class best reproduces a
live performance in the intended conditions, using the official source material in an objective manner,
without bias or consideration towards brand, vehicle or installation technique.
