As the technology in modern sound systems continues to improve, it can be tempting to believe that it is now possible to pay less attention to the baseline acoustic properties of space, and still achieve excellent sound system performance.

In this edition of the Tech Simple podcast David and Jonathan dive into this topic in more detail. In some situations, sound system technology can improve overall performance without relying on acoustic treatment in space. The guys run through a series of examples.

In most situations though, the best outcomes are still achieved when both the acoustic properties of a space and the sound systems are considered together.

The guys also run through some tests to perform to understand the acoustic properties of space. Finally, they provide some tips and advice to address and improve the acoustics in a room.
