Frequency Response Matching – Part 2

September 12, 2022/by Pat Brown

By Pat Brown

This article answers the question: If I match the “frequency response” of two components, will they sound the same?

In Frequency Response Matching – Part 1, I gave an overview of the concept/practice of matching … Read more

Room Acoustics Case Study – Small Room

July 15, 2022/by Pat Brown

by Pat Brown

It is intuitive to think of sound waves as bouncing around the room like rays of light. The reality can be far different, and it affects the way that the room must be measured and treated.

Frequency Response Matching – Should This be Part of the System Tuning Process?

February 8, 2022/by Pat Brown

by Pat Brown

“Frequency response matching” is a popular endeavor in both professional and consumer audio systems. Should this be part of the system tuning process?

A logical use of audio filters is to attempt to “match” the frequency response … Read more

One System, Three Voltages – Make Sense?

December 17, 2021/by Pat Brown

by Pat Brown

Pat Brown clears up a confusing topic in a visual and practical way – voltages in transformer-distributed loudspeaker systems.

We have recently released a new version of the High-Z calculator used in SynAudCon’s CAFViewer^TM and IntelliKwik… Read more

Room Acoustics Testing – Do I Need a Sub?

October 14, 2021/by Pat Brown

by Pat Brown

Prior to designing a sound system, room acoustics testing needs to be done. Pat Brown answers the question, Do I need a sub when testing the acoustics in the room? You will also learn what Pat uses

Divide and Conquer – The Schroeder Frequency

October 14, 2021/by Pat Brown

by Pat Brown

Not all sound energy in a room is reverberation. The Schroeder frequency divides the spectrum based on sound wave behavior.

It has been understood for centuries that the behavior of sound waves indoors is frequency-dependent. The room … Read more

A Contrast of Statistical and Geometric Room Acoustic Analysis

May 17, 2021/by Pat Brown

by Pat Brown

Statistical and geometric room acoustics analysis have been with us for well over a century. Computer modeling makes geometric acoustic analysis (GA) practical at the drawing board. This article contrasts the two methods.

The room impulse … Read more

Small Room Acoustics in the Zoom Era

September 25, 2020/by Pat Brown

by Pat Brown

Solving the acoustical problems of small spaces requires a different palette of tools than those used in large spaces.

Room resonances can extend well up into the speech range to complicate conferencing, recording, and online meetings creating
