ACOUSTICS |

The
hidden component in any audio or home theater system is the room
itself. The more harmoniously speakers and room interact, the
better the sound. This element of the audio equation has been
a key focus of Harman research for many years, and we've learned
quite a bit. Here you'll find information on the basics of room
acoustics, how these factors influence (or should influence) loudspeaker
design, and how to get the most out of your own speakers at home.

Our
goal is to put science at the service of art and audio at
the service of music and motion pictures. Understanding the
science behind the sound can help you to be a better audio
shopper and to get the best out of the equipment you buy.
With that in mind, we've collected here papers and articles
on significant audio technologies, both of a general nature
and specific to Harman products.
Speaker
Design: Audio-Art and Science
This paper reviews scientific work performed by dr. Floyd Toole
and his colleagues, that aimed to determine the extent to which
listeners agreed on their preferences in sound quality and, beyond
that to identify relationships between listener preferences and
meaureable performance perameters of loudspeakers.
