Sound System Design for Immersive Audio


Josh Dorn-Fehrmann
Bob McCarthy
Merlijn Van Veen

In this session we will introduce a repeatable and scalable design method for immersive sound systems.

We will begin our discussion by designing a stereo system and expand the design concept to a fully immersive room.

Our discussion will introduce the design principals for the various loudspeaker layouts (stereo, LCR, multi-frontal, lateral surround, overhead surround, and low frequency).

Bob McCarthy’s involvement in the field of sound system optimization began in 1984 with the development of Source Independent Measurement (SIM®) with John Meyer at Meyer Sound Laboratories. Since that time, he has been an active force in developing the tools and techniques of modern sound system optimization, including three generations of SIM, hundreds of tunings, training seminars and publications.

His award-winning book, Sound Systems: Design and Optimization, considered the foremost text in the optimization field, has sold over 13,000 copies in three languages.
