Assignment Two – Audio Systems Design and Evaluation

Abstract

Emerging audio systems in stadiums and auditoriums in the last century have been met with several technological and acoustical limitations. In the past decades, high quality digital audio systems, array speakers and computer aid simulations created greater flexibility where high-quality audio systems were in demand. Nowadays, array speakers with their cylindrical sound propagation are more popular in large halls due to lower sound attenuation by distance (3dB attenuation with doubling the distance) and their ability to produce a wide range of frequency bands and physical coverages.
