What is Waving and Why? The Anatomy of the Wave Equation – Part 3

By Dr. Eugene Patronis

At the conclusion of the second article in this series we had the plane wave equation in hand and had learned the properties that must be exhibited by a mathematical function if it were to be … Read more

What is Waving and Why? The anatomy of the Wave Equation-Part 4

By Dr. Eugene Patronis

At the conclusion of the third article in this series we had learned that the acoustic energy at any instant contained in a one wavelength interval along the z-axis of the plane wave tube was 4.1288(10-9) … Read more

All rooms are plagued by room modes. Bag End Loudspeakers has the first electronically tunable bass trap. Read to learn more.

All rooms are plagued by room modes. They occur when low frequency acoustic wavelengths “agree” with … Read more

What is Waving and Why? The Anatomy of the Wave Equation – Part 1

By Dr. Eugene Patronis

This is the first of what hopefully will be a continuing series of articles dealing with the fundamental physics of sound waves. Unlike electromagnetic waves that can exist in a vacuum as well as in material … Read more

Efficient Room Modeling using Google Sketchup

By Pat Brown

Google Sketchup along with a plug-in is now a power and efficient tool that can now be used for room modeling speaker coverage.

B-Format Can Provide Acoustical Predictions

By Pat Brown

In this article, Pat Brown will show how a B-Format can provide acoustical predictions.

In addition to recording and room measurements, B-Format is also applicable to acoustical predictions. The holy grail of sound design has always been … Read more

IR (Impulse Response) Issues

By Pat Brown

Over the last year or so I have shared an alternate method for acquiring the impulse response of a system that does not require an on-site computer. This method is meant to augment, not replace, dedicated measurement … Read more

Panera Noise – Low Frequency Tone

By Pat Brown

Recently I was having a morning coffee at the local Panera Bread Restaurant. The Wi-Fi is free, the bagels are great, and the coffee is tolerable as a second cup. While working away at my PC my … Read more
