Acoustic Design for Multichannel Audio Control Rooms

摘要

As the shift to 5.1 and beyond surround sound mixing rooms continues-with the potential for immersive audio on the horizon-there have been some new thoughts on the internal acoustical design. The ultimate goal of providing a neutral listening environment where critical judgments can be made on the quality of sound sources and the overall mix doesn't change. Where the rethinking comes in is how to handle the internal sound field to accomplish this goal. So, all the usual suspects of good design-solid construction, adequate room volume, low-frequency modal control, symmetry, noise and isolation control, loudspeaker choice and placement and mix position placement-still apply. I've covered these topics in the past, and they have recently been revisited by my TVTech-nology colleague Jay Yeary.
