Hi guys. For the last 3-4 years I have been really keen on unlocking the mystery of room of acoustics. I read every forum post I could, white papers, you name it. None of them helped as there is so much conflicting advice out there.
In finally found one consistent story that fits completely together. And that is the teachings of Dr. Toole of Harman/NRC fame. Through lots of face time, classes, reading of his papers (and that of other Harman researchers), seat time at their labs, and our own theater design, combined with quality time with Keith Yates, it all became a compelling story that works at theory and practical point of views.
Instead of having you all follow the same journey, I thought I summarize my learning. What you are about to read was slated to be published by Widescreen Review Magazine but I missed the deadline and I decided to put it online. The topic is as this thread says: how to get high-fidelity bass reproduction in a theater or listening space. http://www.madronadigital.com/Library/BassOptimization.html
So allocate 15 to 20 minutes and read through it. I think you will find it highly worthwhile.
Happy to field questions about it and expand on any topic there.
Further installments will focus on the rest of the story above low frequencies.
So let me know what you think. It can be anything from spelling errors to "you have no idea what you are talking about."
