Resonance Control

  • Luxury Home Audio

Meridian Resonance Control for Home Audio uses the dimensions of the room in order to compensate for the primary modal resonances that are especially exacerbated by loudspeakers with downward firing speakers, or by in-wall mounted loudspeakers

It then automatically designs specific filters to reduce the effect of these resonances, reducing unnatural low frequency boominess.

Challenge

Standing waves can occur between parallel surfaces within the listening space, which result in low frequency resonances that create boominess. Loudspeakers with downward firing drive units, or in-wall mounted loudspeakers are particularly prone to exacerbating these modal resonances due to the fact they inject energy at or close to the reflecting surfaces, where modal maxima naturally occurs.

Solution

Resonance Control uses the dimensions of the listening space to calculate the frequencies of the primary modal resonances. DSP filtering is then applied to attenuate the problematic frequencies.

Result

Unwanted resonance is greatly reduced, ensuring bass remains clean and powerful without the unnatural boominess or “boxiness” which, without Resonance Control, would be imparted by the parallel geometry of the floor and ceiling or walls.
