      Are You Hypnotizable?

      Jan 9, 2024

      A decade ago, when I was starting my first year of university in New Zealand, I attended a stage hypnosis. It was one of a number of events the university offered to incoming students during orientation week. From the stage of a campus auditorium, th

      Measuring The Drivers

      Mar 5, 2024

      Considered as a sequence of sounds over time, audio energizes a room with a complex jumble of fundamental tones and thousands of harmonics, augmented by room reflections and longer-term reverberation. This sounds like a recipe for aural confusion, bu

      A-weighting

      A-Weighting refers to a frequency-response adjustment of a sound-level meter that makes its reading conforms, very roughly, to human response.

      Absorb

      Absorb refers to the conversion of sound waves into energy, such as heat which is then captured by insulation.

      Absorption

      Absorption refers to the changing of sound energy to heat.

      Absorption Coefficient

      Absorption Coefficient refers to the fraction of sound energy that is absorbed at any surface. It has a value between 0 and 1 and varies with the frequency and angle of incidence of the sound.

      AC3

      See Dolby Digital.

      Acoustic Impedance

      It is a very specialized term in Acoustics and it can be understood as: Z=R+jX; [ML-4T-1]; mks acoustic ohm *(Pa • s/m3) ---of a surface, for a given frequency, the complex quotient obtained when the sound pressure averaged over the surface is divided by the volume velocity through the surface. The real and imaginary components are called, respectively, acoustic resistance and acoustic reactance.

      Acoustic material

      The material which has its acoustical properties is called Acoustic Material. It is commonly and especially, a material designed to absorb sound.

      Acoustics

      Acoustics is the science of sound. It can also refer to the effect a given environment has on sound.

      AES

      The full form of AES is Audio Engineering Society.

      Airborne Sound

      The sound that is conveyed through air or the sound that arrives at the point of interest, such as one side of a partition, by propagation through air is called Airborne Sound

      Airflow Resistance

      Airflow Resistance can be fully understood as: R: [ML-4T-1]; mks acoustic ohm *(Pa•s/m3) It is the quotient of the air pressure difference across a specimen divided by the volume velocity of airflow through the specimen. The pressure difference and the volume velocity may be either steady or alternating.

      Airflow Resistivity

      To understand Airflow Resistivity, the following must be understood: [ML-3T-1]; mks rayl/m (Pas/m3) ---of a homogeneous material, the quotient of its specific airflow resistance divided by its thickness.

      Alcons

      Alcons is the measured percentage of Articulation Loss of Consonants by
