Using our equipment, including Payos Audio Main Control active 3-way monitors, we can provide precise tuning and optimization of your speaker system.

How to evaluate directionality?

Directivity is an important factor in acoustics. According to research (Toole, JAES), directivity actually sets the direct/reverberant field ratio in the mid/low-mid range. To evaluate directivity, you can use a method to measure the sound level at different points in the room.

How to evaluate bass?

Bass is an important component of acoustics. According to research (Kii Audio), cardioid bass can improve sound quality. To evaluate bass, you can use the low-frequency sound level measurement method.

How to evaluate reverberation?

Reverberation is an important factor in acoustics. According to research (Dutch & Dutch), the Ellison effect can improve sound quality. To evaluate reverberation, you can use the method of measuring the reverberation time in a room.
