In 1975 Ed Long [1] in cooperation with Ronald J. Wickersham invented the first technique to Time-Align a loudspeaker systems. In 1976 Long presented "A Time-Align Technique for Loudspeakers System Design" [2] at the 54th AES convention demonstrating the use of the Time-Align generator to design improved crossover networks for multi-way loudspeakers systems.
A simplified (scalar) form of the equation describes acoustic waves in only one spatial dimension, while a more general form describes waves in three dimensions. For lossy media, more intricate models need to be applied in order to take into account frequency-dependent attenuation and phase speed.
In a reverberant space, the sound perceived by a listener is a combination of direct and reverberant sound. The ratio of direct sound is dependent on the distance between the source and the listener, and upon the reverberation time in [the room]. At a certain distance the two will be equal. This is called the "critical distance."
In acoustics, Stokes's law of sound attenuation is a formula for the attenuation of sound in a Newtonian fluid, such as water or air, due to the fluid's viscosity.It states that the amplitude of a plane wave decreases exponentially with distance traveled, at a rate α given by = where η is the dynamic viscosity coefficient of the fluid, ω is the sound's angular frequency, ρ is the fluid ...
OGame is a browser-based, money-management and space-war themed massively multiplayer online browser game. OGame was created in 2002 and is produced and maintained by Gameforge . [ 1 ] It is available in multiple languages, and different nationalities have their own communities.
High-amplitude sound of a specific pattern at a frequency close to the sensitivity peak of human hearing (2–3 kHz) is used as a burglar deterrent. [ 6 ] Some police forces have used sound cannons against protesters, for example during the 2009 G20 Pittsburgh summit , [ 7 ] the 2014 Ferguson unrest , [ 8 ] and the 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline ...
According to Huygens’ principle, when a sound wave is partially blocked by an obstacle, the remaining part that gets through acts as a source of secondary waves. [17] For instance, if a person is in a room and shouts with the door open, the people on either side of the hallway will hear it.
The ratio between two acoustic pressures in deciBels is expressed by the equation dB = 20log(p1/p2), so for every doubling of distance from the point source p1 = 1 and p2 = 2, thus there is a sound pressure decrease of approximately 6 dB. A line source is a hypothetical one-dimensional source of a sound, as opposed to a dimensionless point ...
