Boundary Interaction of Diffuse Field Distributed-Mode Radiators

Authors: Azima, Henry; Harris, Neil

AES Convention 103 · Paper 4635 · September 1997

Abstract

Traditional phase-coherent acoustic radiators are subjected to destructive interference when they interact with their boundaries. A new class of acoustic radiator is discussed whose radiation is spatially and temporally diffuse, mitigating the problem by producing sympathetic boundary reflections. Results from computer simulations for both classes of radiator are presented, and these are compared to single boundary and listening room measurements.
