Convention Paper

Subwoofers in Rooms: Equalization of Multiple Subwoofers

Authors: Backman, Juha

AES Convention 131 · Paper 8471 · October 2011

Abstract

The effectiveness of multiple subwoofers in controlling low-frequency room modes can be improved through designing individual equalization for each of the subwoofers. The paper discusses two strategies towards equalizer design, minimizing coupling to individual modes, and minimizing the total energy radiated to the room. The frequency responses and sound field distributions obtained using these methods are compared to the results of conventional equalization and modal control only through loudspeaker placement.
