spatial acoustics

Spatial acoustics is the study of how sound behaves in a space, including how it moves, reflects, and interacts with the environment. It considers factors like room shape, surface materials, and object placement, which influence sound quality, clarity, and directionality. Essentially, it helps design spaces—like concert halls or theaters—so that sound reaches listeners clearly and feels immersive, providing a natural and balanced auditory experience. It combines physics, architecture, and engineering to optimize how sound is experienced within a specific environment.
