Powell lectures on Electroacoustic Reinforcement Systems in Small Rooms

Eric Powell, a graduate of our MAE program, presented a guest lecture on Wednesday, April 17th to the Electroacoustics course on “Electroacoustic Reinforcement Systems in Small Rooms”.  Powell is currently a consultant with Paradise Theater, and has had the opportunity to work on a number of high end home theater installations.  In particular, our class found it interesting to learn more about how characteristics of the loudspeaker’s frequency response can seriously influence a system’s perceptual characteristics at higher frequency ranges, while the room’s responses will still dominate at the lower frequency ranges.  Many thanks to Eric for the informative and enjoyable seminar!
