8. 6kHz results in placement accuracy of 0 35cm Both sampling frequencies offer more than enough placement resolution For comparison Vanderkooy in his AES Perprint 7262 Multi Source Room Equalization Reducing Room Resonances used 5kHz sampling which results in 6 8cm placement accuracy In the same paper Vanderkooy gives a brilliant summary of his room equalization approach oumming up my room equalization philosophy then it is important to try to lessen the peaks and dips in the room response at low frequencies say below 150 Hz However as the frequency rises one should do less and less so that by say 300 Hz the room response should 99 certainly not be altered Adding Extra Spaciousness There are two types of delays implemented in the program Firstly there is the Channel Delay which is mathematically calculated by multiplying transfer function by exp jot This delay 1s intended to be of short duration only 1ms and should be used for the precise alignment of acoustic centres of loudspeakers Second delay is the CABS delay which is implemented via delay buffer This delay is intended for much longer delay up to 168ms One application of such longer delays is the CABS subwoofer system However since all 16 output channels can be delayed by using CABS Delay this gives us an opportunity to experiment with sound effects such as enhanced spaciousness sounds reflected by more than 30 40ms

23. hould be read in conjunction with the full User Manual for version 5 and available from Bodzio Software Pty Ltd website l Controlled Acoustic Bass System CABS The CABS system was explained in Low Frequency Sound Field Control in Rectangular Listening Rooms using CABS Controlled Acoustic Bass System will also reduce sound transmission to neighbour rooms by Sofus Birkedal Nielsen in 2011 http vbn aau dk files 62729248 LF sound field control pdf In the words of Mr Nielsen The idea is that by proper placement of loudspeakers close to a wall it 1s possible at low frequencies to create and maintain a plane wave propagating from front to rear When the plane wave hits the rear wall another set of loudspeakers close to the wall will create a delayed version of the frontal signal but in opposite phase and with a proper gain so the reflection at the rear wall will be cancelled The ingenuity of the system can be summarised as f the first rear wall reflection is cancelled then there are NO reflections at all but only a plane wave travelling from the front wall loudspeaker s and being totally absorbed at the rear wall Front Left Subwoofer Front Right Subwoofer Delay proportional to distance between front and rear subwoofers UU ilh Rear Left Bass Sink Rear Right Bass Sink Delay At Distance Speed of sound 2 Incorporating CABS into the loudspeaker system 1s accomplished by adding two extra subw
