The elephant is in the room and its called acoustics

 Recent opinion pieces on the HiFi Hobbyist website have reported on differing views from online commentators on the importance of room acoustics and room treatments. In this podcast, we will look in more detail at the underlying scientific theory and seek our own conclusions on the topic.  Part 1 of the podcast outlines the basic acoustics theory, Part 2 looks at the implications of the Schroder frequency and the need to handle upper and lower frequencies differently and then Part 3 looks at treatments designed to alleviate problems caused by reflections and reverberations, before a final conclusion.  The accompanying music consists of two concertos in the Baroque style, created by the HiFi Hobbyist with the help of Mureka software.
