A smaller room

[Edmund-of-Essex]

Hi @ryder , thanks for asking. Yes, calibrated Space Optimisation is a Digital Signal Processing technique to correct the in room response.

Linn streaming products incorporate something called Space Optimisation which needs a physical model of the target room to construct the corrections applied to the music signal at run time.

I have included a link to a response from 10 days ago where I was explaining its workings and performance to another forum member.

The link is here:

I never see folk showing room treatment?

Hi @Innocent_Bystander , it will take a while to explain, but thank you for seeking clarification. FYI I have a PhD in digital signal processing, I hesitate to start explaining the concept but it does work. In summary one needs to think of the impulse response of the loudspeaker into an untreated room and then understand the fluid mechanics of the air in the room and then add on top of that the psychoacoustic perception of human hearing. In signal processing there is a direct translation betwe…

If you read that thread and onwards you should find some graphs that demonstrate the concept.

Alternatively, have a read of my own thread (English Premier or International (HiFi) - ‘Strength in Depth’ - #123 by Edmund-of-Essex) where I will continue to post about ‘optimising’ my room, which uses room treatment in conjunction with Linn Space Optimisation.
