Why is Room Correction Necessary?
To the left is a 2 dimensional simulation of a 1ms wave pulse from a
pair of conventional speakers into a room similar to the above.
Because the dispersion exceeds 60 degrees, undesirable energy from
each speaker is reflected back into the room within a few thousandths
of a second. This reflected energy is out of sync with the original
signal.
A few milliseconds later, the first wave-front is about to reach the
listener, while the reflected energy is close behind. These early
reflections alter the original tonal balance. As they occur within the
fusion time window, the brain cannot separate the sounds.
