The idea
Phones sample speaker sweeps at several room positions to compare acoustic response, locate hotspots, and explore speaker or listener configurations.
How it works
- Play a known sweep through a speaker and record it at measured positions around the room.
- Align sample timing and positions, then compute and compare each acoustic response.
- Visualize measured hotspots and test how candidate speaker or listener positions change the sampled result.
AI’s role: Summarize measured room responses and suggest configurations to compare; conventional signal processing computes impulse responses from recorded sweeps.
First demonstration
Play one speaker sweep, record it at a few marked positions, and repeat each measurement to compare consistency with a reference recording.
What to solve next
How do consumer microphone response, automatic gain, clock latency, and calibration affect repeatability compared with dedicated measurement equipment?
