1
Watch out for SOUND REFLECTIONS. Straight surfaces reflect sounds back into the central space making sound clarity muddy.
2
Select ACOUSTICAL TREATMENT carefully. Different materials absorb sound frequencies differently.
3
Diminish ECHOES w hen necessary. Be aw are that sounds traveling w ithin 30 milliseconds of each other are perceived w ithout echo.
4
Don’t let other building systems get in the w ay. NOISE CONTROL is important to keep in check as other building systems operate.
5
Keep objects or other OBSTRUCTIONS out of the w ay. Objects that obstruct a sound path can block high frequency sounds.
6
Get good PATTERN CONTROL. Make sure sound systems for a room get good sound coverage.
7
For out-of-the-w ay listening areas get DISTRIBUTED SOUND SYSTEMS.
