Hey, Pierce and I reviewed the primary factors governing control room acoustics. They consist of; acoustic isolation, frequeny response, absorption, reflection, reverberation, and the symmetry in control room and monitoring design.
Proceeding, we discussed how in comparison the amount of isolation between the control room and the studio should be the same as between the studio and outside.
Also, we reviewed what a soundlock is; the room containing two doors between the control room and the studio or exterior areas.
Furthermore, the phenomenon that occurs when a sound reflects back and forth off a parallel surface is called standing waves.
To continue, we identified what diffusers are; acoustical boundaries that reflect sound back at various angles, breaking up their sound energy.
We discussed what bass traps are; low frequency attenuation devices.
Also, we reviewed what devices are used to analyze the acoustics of a room are called spectrum analyzer or spectral analyzer and the signal that this device generates is called pink noise.
Furthermore, we coined what to do to prevent any signal from being applied to a specific speaker, to use a crossover network.
Also, we went over active crossovers; each line level audio signal is split into various frequency bonds, which is then fed into its own power amp and then the speaker.
We identified what are called a two way system; speakers with only one crossover.
Then we discussed what monitor speakers are called that have an amplifier built in; powered.
Finally, we went over what a small speaker placed near the console's meter bridge is called; a near field monitor.
Cheers,
