Abstract

In critical listening environments, it is imperative that you get a truthful representation of your audio material through the speakers.

Sound reflecting off the walls, ceiling, floor and furniture arriving at the listening spot within approximately 20 milliseconds of the direct sound from the speakers, can cause interference with what you hear. Peaks and dips are created in the frequency response as a result of the reflected sound interfering with the sound from the speakers. This is known as speaker boundary interference response (SBIR).
