Space acoustics.
Acoustics is the science that studies sounds, ultrasounds and echoes.
Acoustics deals with the study and behaviour of sound in various enclosed spaces and the interaction with objects inside these places.
A space's acoustic improves with acoustic treatment (control of sound reflections with absorption and diffusion materials on the wall and the ceiling).

Acoustic processing.
The audio processing is done with:
Foam: absorb medium and high frequencies.
Headphone panels: sound-absorbing surfaces with stone wool as the main absorbent material.
Bass traps: absorb bass (low) frequencies.
Diffusers: face the repetitive echo (flutter echo) without making the space headphones dead.
Study and design of sound installation.
To properly design a sound system we need to answer the following questions:
- Where will the sound system be used?
- What kind of use is it intended for?
- How much sound system do we need?
- What kind of speakers are suitable?
- What will be the layout of the speakers in the space?
- How powerful should the amplifier be?
- What kind of wiring will be used?
- Is audio equalizer required?
Speaker layout
Each speaker is placed in one spot in order to cover a specific area.
The various types of speakers (passive, recessed, self-amplifying, announcement horns, sound columns, ceiling speakers, subwoofers, line array systems, etc.) can be mounted on walls, ceilings, columns, etc.
Criteria for proper speaker layout:
The coverage area of each speaker
The desired smoothness of coverage
The maximum possible installation cost.
