Room Modal Equalisation with Electroacoustic Absorbers

Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

The sound quality in a room is of fundamental importance for both recording and reproducing processes. Because of the room modes, the distributions in space and frequency of the sound field are largely altered. Excessive rise and decay times caused by the ...

Study on room modal equalization at low frequencies with electroacoustic absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Iris Rigas

Nowadays, requirements for acoustic treatments in rooms are ever more demanding in terms of performance and compactness. A recurring issue in closed spaces is the occurrence of standing waves and acoustic interferences at low frequencies. These unwanted ph ...

Electroacoustic absorbers II: implementation of a digital synthetic admittance for controlling the dynamics of electroacoustic absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

This paper discusses the implementation of a synthetic electrical admittance for controlling the dynamics of electroacoustic absorbers. Indeed, different basic control techniques are capable of varying the acoustic impedance of an electroacoustic transduce ...

Constant-pressure sound waves in non-Hermitian disordered media

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

When waves impinge on a disordered material they are back-scattered and form a highly complex interference pattern. Suppressing any such distortions of a wave’s free propagation is a challenging task with many applications in a number of different discipli ...

Optimization of electric shunt resonant circuits for electroacoustic absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

Sound absorption can be achieved in a relatively simple manner with passive or active electroacoustic absorbers. Electroacoustic absorbers are basically loudspeakers, the membrane of which is used as an absorber/reflector of sound, and the electric termina ...

Optimization of electroacoustic resonators for semi-active room equalization in the low-frequency range

Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

At low frequencies, standing waves within the room cause large frequency-response variations in the listening environment, such as audio rooms or recording studios. This unwanted phenomenon has a significant impact on the sound quality of an audio system. ...

Electroacoustic absorbers for the low-frequency modal equalization of a room: what is the optimal target impedance for maximum modal damping, depending on the total area of absorbers?

Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Sami Driss Karkar, Véronique Adam

Electroacoustic absorbers consist of loudspeakers, shunted with an electrical circuit designed to obtain a given acoustic impedance. Their design and principles are now well understood. Unidimensional experiments, using plane waves under normal incidence i ...
