The optimization of modal spacing within small rooms (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Wankling, M., & Fazenda, B. (2008, November). The optimization of modal spacing within small rooms. Presented at Computing and Engineering Annual Researchers' Conference 2008, Huddersfield

The reproduction of audio in small rooms is significantly affected by room modes – resonant frequencies set up as a result of the geometry of the room. These frequency specific modes combine to form a unique frequency response for that room. This fre... Read More about The optimization of modal spacing within small rooms.

Optimal modal spacing and density for critical listening (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., & Wankling, M. (2008, October). Optimal modal spacing and density for critical listening. Presented at 125th Audio Engineering Society Convention, San Francisco, CA, USA

This paper presents a study on the subjective effects of modal spacing and density. These are measures often used as
indicators to define particular aspect ratios and source positions to avoid low frequency reproduction problems in
rooms. These ind... Read More about Optimal modal spacing and density for critical listening.

3-Dimensional room impulse response measurements in critical listening spaces (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Romero Perez, J., & Fazenda, B. (2008, January). 3-Dimensional room impulse response measurements in critical listening spaces. Presented at Institute of Acoustics

Most of the knowledge and the existing objective acoustic measures defined to describe the sound field in large spaces are commonly evoked to predict the acoustic performance of small rooms. It is now becoming evident that this practice leads to flaw... Read More about 3-Dimensional room impulse response measurements in critical listening spaces.
