DEFINITIONS
We walk our customers through each step of the process explaining everything they need to know. Here are some basic definitions to help you along your journey to understand how sound works and how we can help you!
Delay (audio effect):
A technology for producing delayed playback of an audio signal.
Echo:
A reflection of sound that arrives at the listener with a delay after the direct sound.
Acoustics:
The properties or qualities of a room or building that determine how sound is transmitted in it.
Acoustic Absorption:
The process by which a material, structure, or object takes in sound energy when sound waves are encountered, as opposed to reflecting the energy.
Reflection:
When sound travels in a given medium, it strikes the surface of another medium and bounces back in some other direction, also known as echo.
Acoustic Panels:
Acoustic panels control echo and reverberation in a room. Most commonly used to resolve speech intelligibility issues in commercial soundproofing treatments.
Diffusion:
Diffusion is the method of spreading out sound energy in all directions.
Comb Filtering:
Comb filtering is a filter implemented by adding a delayed version of a signal to itself causing constructive and deconstructive interference.
Ambient Noise:
Ambient noise the level of noise in a room or area.
Isolation:
Resistance of the transmission of sound using materials and or structures.
