Ultimately, in sound, as in PTM, “It depends!” In my newbie quest to learn more about the science of sound, I found this article about the measurement of acoustic signals and audio components to be very beneficial. Pat Brown’s analogy of time as the independent variable, and scheduled events as the dependent variable, gave me a good entry point into understanding spec sheets. I also learned that many audio and acoustic parameters are frequency-dependent. However, I got a bit lost with the directivity plot/index. In addition to the charts in the article, I need a diagram of a few audience-loudspeaker layouts. But that is probably just me. Overall, this was a good introduction to the concepts.
