Sound Systems: Design and Optimization

Sound Systems: Design and Optimization
Modern Techniques and Tools for Sound System Design and Alignment

Sound Systems: Design and Optimization provides a perspective on the behavior of sound systems in the practical world.

This book helps to:

• Improve your design and optimization decisions by understanding how audiences perceive reinforced sound
• Use modern analyzers and prediction programs to select speaker placement, equalization, delay and level settings based on how loudspeakers interact in the space
• Define speaker array configurations and design strategies that maximize the potential for spatial uniformity
• Gain a comprehensive understanding of the tools and techniques required to generate a design that will create a successful transmission/reception model
