One
of the fastest growing markets for acousticians is home theater. The advent
of 5.1 discrete digital surround formats raises many new design issues
that RPG® is researching.
Choosing room dimensions is a good way to start the design. 1 : 1.6 :
2.3 works well for a home theater. The next step is to optimize the acoustical
coupling of the listener and loudspeakers with the room’s modal pressure
distribution and speaker boundary interference response (SBIR). RPG’s
new Room Optimizer™
software is the first multi dimensional optimization tool that automatically
determines the best locations for listener and loudspeakers. The program
simultaneously minimizes the SBIR and modal emphasis to produce the flattest
room response.
The treatment illustrated is intended for those clients interested in
a “high tech” appearance in which all acoustical products are
exposed.
