SALE
Sidewall reflection and speakers too close to the sidewall. So we’re going to actually show you a photo and we can go ahead and do that right now where we have a speaker right next to a glass. So we’re going to talk about why this is not a good situation. In fact, it’s so […]
Sound Diffusion – One Or Two Dimensions?
Let’s talk about diffusion and we all know from my past videos and my room designs that I’m big on quadratic. Quadratic is the only diffusion that I have found that satisfies all the 5 criteria for a real, true, diffuse sound field. Now in a room we know we have 3 real major sound […]
Acoustic Fields Group Project
Today we’re going to do a something little bit different than we normally do. I’m going to give you some givens so you get an outline of what we’re trying to ask a question about and then we’re going to do a question. We’re going to make it a group project and I want you […]
Physics of Sound Part III
Today we’re going to talk about the physics of sound part 3. Part 1 we talked about level or strength, amplitude. Part 2 we talked about frequency. This is going to be about propagation. Where does level, frequency travel through if you will? Well, we know that we have paths and it’s all about going […]
Physics of Sound Part II
Let’s talk about frequency which is part 2 of our physics of sound series, kind of back to basics program. I want to give you a feel for physics because then we take the general knowledge and feel, if you will, for physics and then we apply it to acoustics which is a science of […]
Physics of Sound Part I
Let’s get back to basics a little bit and talk about some of the qualities and characteristics and the physics of sound. We’re going to call this part I, we’ll probably do two or three parts on this. There’s 3 major parts that we need to look at when we’re dealing with audio in our […]
Is Your Room Working With Your Music?
Is your room working with your music? I get a lot of calls and I see a lot of room forms that come in where I’m really wondering who’s working with whom and the situation is the room fighting the music, is the music fighting the room, does the client just not know what’s going […]
Spatial Impression in Room Acoustics
Let’s talk about spacial impression. Kind of a fancy name but let’s break it down and I think we’ll understand what it means. For years and years and years companies do studies on what people consider beautiful. And they use human beings as examples. And one of the things they find in these studies is […]
Room Amplitude & Frequency Response
Let’s talk about room amplitude and frequency response. I get a lot of people that call in and send their measurements of their room and I have to remind them that there are certain qualifications to those measurements and we need to understand what really a flat response in a room is all about. So […]
The 8 Foot Acoustic Nightmare
Today we’re going to talk about what I call the 8 foot acoustic nightmare. Unfortunately in North America our ceiling heights are mostly in the 8-foot range. And that couldn’t be worse for us in terms of acoustics. Now, like if it’s a drop ceiling height and there’s another foot or two behind that space, […]
