Explore how reflections and reverberation shape monitor sound, with early reflections from nearby surfaces, 20 milliseconds distinction between early and ambient reflections, and the mirror trick to locate reflection points.
Explore how reverberation time varies from vocal booths to concert halls. Learn to minimize early reflections and target a 0.2 to 0.3 second decay using damping materials and monitor placement.
Invaluable information that can make your listening experience so much better...
Welcome to Acoustics. This course is designed to provide an understanding of monitor placement, and the key concepts regarding studio monitors. Topics explored include principals of studio monitor and subwoofer placement, early reflections, RT60 time, and Speaker Boundary Interference Response.
Delivered in 13 lectures in 4 sections, a keen student could complete the course in as little as one afternoon, but 1 week is recommended. At the end of each section, a quiz will recap on knowledge learnt.
Aimed at small studios, the content is equally relevant for large studios, listening rooms and home theatres. Completion of this course will result in a better understanding of room acoustics, and a better sound from your studio monitors or home theatre system.
