Before designing a sound system, you need to understand the nature of sound.
- how sound travels
- frequency and pitch
- amplitude and volumeMeasure the speed of sound
- Know how temperature, pressure, humidity, etc. affect the speed of sound
- Measure reflection, refraction and diffraction
- Measure resonance
- Understand interference
- Measure the absorption of sound at different types of surfaces
- Measure the reflection of sound at different types of surfaces
- consider how the sound is to be transferred from the stage to the auditorium.
- ensure that the sound quality is reasonably consistent throughout the auditorium
