B&O Tech: Room Modes and Room Compensation

#107 in a series of articles about the technology behind Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers

I’ve started working with a number of my colleagues on a series of videos for internal training at Bang & Olufsen. They were kind enough to make some of these videos publicly available.

This video demonstrates one of the more important problems that we face in dealing with a room’s acoustical contribution to “the sound” of a loudspeaker: room modes (or room resonances), as well as some basic introduction to some strategies for compensating for them.
