Hey! Im aspiring to become a soundtechnician / engineer. I'm going to study electronics this year, but I'm going to read a lot on the side (eg. physics, math etc.) here at Khan! So I just wondered if it would be possible for someone here to give me a sort of where to start and step by step journey on what would be sort of essential to learn when it comes to understanding all that is to understand around PA-systems, FFT, RTA, Wireless transmission, acoustics etc. I know its a lot and I dont mean to grasp the profound knowledge of these subjects, more like: the "basics". If thats possible.

Btw. Khan Academy is the best!

Kind Regards

You'll need to know sound physics and maybe electromagnetic physics for general knowledge about sound waves, energy, power, decibels, and more. You'll also need to know specifics about the types and usage of sound equipment, but that sounds like what you're preparing to study elsewhere (I doubt that info is here somewhere).
Definitely check out physics and the maths that are prerequisite:
*algebra
*trigonometry
?calculus
Physics:
*one and two dimensional motion
*forces
*work & energy
!!!mechanical waves (especially sound & standing waves)
*electricity & magnetism (speaker power & interference!)
*circuits
?light waves (for wireless communications & interference)
