Audio Terms Explained
Acoustic lens
|
|
An array of obstacles that refracts sound waves in the same way that an optical lens refracts light waves. The dimensions of these obstacles are small compared to the wavelengths of the sound being focused. Also, a device that produces convergence or divergence of moving sound waves. When used with a speaker enclosure, an acoustic lens widens the beam of the higher-frequency sound waves. |
