Design Your PA For Intelligibility

Understanding the message conveyed is crucial, intelligibility isn't just about volume but clarity and quality of sound reaching every listener. Dive into the science of sound, illustrating how sound waves from a loudspeaker interact with room surfaces to create a diffuse field, which can diminish intelligibility.

Key Points:
  • Understand sound intelligibility as not just loudness but the quality and clarity of sound that reaches each audience member.
  • Learn how sound interacts with room surfaces, creating a diffuse field that can reduce intelligibility.
  • Discover the difference between direct sound from the source and diffuse sound reflecting off surfaces, and how this affects sound clarity.
  • Find out how reducing the diffuse field can significantly improve sound intelligibility.
  • Understand how well-designed loudspeakers with controlled dispersion patterns can minimize the diffuse field and enhance sound clarity.
  • Learn about high-Q (quality) systems that aim to reduce diffuse sound and increase intelligibility compared to low-Q systems.

Gain a deeper understanding of how sound behaves in a room and practical knowledge on choosing and setting up audio equipment for optimal sound clarity.
