Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Wilson, A., & Fazenda, B. (2005, October). Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics. Presented at Reproduced Sound 30, Birmingham, UK

As digital audio is encoded as discrete samples of the audio waveform, much can be said about the nature of the recording by the statistical properties of the sample distribution. By analysis of the probability mass function and associated summary fe... Read More about Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics.

Measurement of sound quality for critical listening (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Holland, K., & Newell, P. (2005, July). Measurement of sound quality for critical listening. Presented at 12th International Congress on Sound and Vibration, Lisbon

For the critical assessment of music recordings the uniformity of the pressure amplitude response with respect to frequency has robustly been defended as one of the principals of prime importance for any electro-acoustic monitoring system. This has b... Read More about Measurement of sound quality for critical listening.

Perception of low frequencies in small rooms (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., & Avis, M. (2004, September). Perception of low frequencies in small rooms. Presented at IV Congreso Ibero-Americano de Acustica, Guimaraes, Portugal

Critical listening rooms are spaces carefully designed to provide the listener with an accurate listening environment. It is well known that in small rooms, resonances may occur that will cause some amplification or attenuation of sound at certain fr... Read More about Perception of low frequencies in small rooms.

Difference limen for the Q-factor of room modes (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Avis, M., & Davies, W. (2003, October). Difference limen for the Q-factor of room modes. Presented at 115th Audio Engineering Society Convention, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, NY, USA

A subjective test study was carried out in order to identify the perceptibility of changes in the Q-factor of room modes. The experimental technique concentrates on the identification of difference limen for three levels of Q-factor referring to mode... Read More about Difference limen for the Q-factor of room modes.

Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Avis, M., & Davies, W. (2002, June). Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers. Presented at 21st Audio Engineering Society Convention, Saint Petersburg, Russia

Conventional pistonic loudspeakers excite the modes of an enclosed sound field in such a way as to introduce modal
artefacts which may be problematic for listeners to high-quality reproduced sound [1]. Their amelioration may
involve the use of high... Read More about Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers.
