Sound Radiation from the Floor Let’s start by recalling some fundamentals in the physics of sound. First, we should remember what ‘radiation space’ means: it is the volume into which a loudspeaker is radiating sound. Now, at low frequency (typically below 200 Hz), where the sound radiation is omnidirectional, the sound level increases when hard … Read More
