Walls of Sound - IN-ROOM LOUDSPEAKER DESGN

THE PROBLEM-LOUDSPEAKERS & ROOMS
History The founder of Wals of Sound, Stuart McGill., began designing loudspeakers as a hobby from the age of 15. Each finished loudspeaker, although sounding better than the last (with superb bass!), involved a large ugly box with wires attached trailing around the living room. However, a visit from an interior designer over 10 years ago forced the realization that large box loudspeakers and wires are incompatible with beautiful rooms, so the search began to find a better solution, one which achieved a quality of sound at least as good as the finest box loudspeakers, and one which was aesthetically acceptable to the lady of the house. ROOM ACOUSTICS It is universally accepted in the Hi-Fi world that the most important element in the sound of any Hi Fi system is the room itself, yet until now, loudspeaker designers were unable to take this critical element into account. Every room sounds different and even similar shaped rooms with different furniture and furnishings can sound very different. Recent studies have shown that room acoustics can add or subtract 15 dB to the sound you hear at different points in the audio spectrum, which rather makes a mockery of flat frequency response in anechoic chambers.The ultimate loudspeaker system can only work at its best when room acoustics are built into its design, and as every room is different, the ultimate loudspeaker requires that it be designed in the room it will be used in.

ROOM ACOUSTICS

It is universally accepted in the Hi-Fi world that the most important element in the sound of any Hi Fi system is the room itself, yet until now, loudspeaker designers were unable to take this critical element into account. Every room sounds different and even similar shaped rooms with different furniture and furnishings can sound very different. Recent studies have shown that room acoustics can add or subtract 15 dB to the sound you hear at different points in the audio spectrum, which rather makes a mockery of flat frequency response in anechoic chambers.The ultimate loudspeaker system can only work at its best when room acoustics are built into its design, and as every room is different, the ultimate loudspeaker requires that it be designed in the room it will be used in.


THE SOLUTION The solution, which creates not only the finest sound you will ever hear in your lounge, but which also uses the greatest loudspeaker enclosure ever built, is all around you.... At Walls of Sound, we use the walls of your house to create the finest sound possible in your lounge by using the acoustics of the room and the cavity of the walls to best advantage. We believe that the ultimate loudspeaker is one designed in the room is is to be used in, using the room acoustics as an essential element of the design. So we come to you, and measure your room and its acoustics with professional loudspeaker design and acoustic measurement equipment. We then use the measurements as critical data to input to the final design. This also includes listening with your own ancillary equipment to achieve a sound which you are most happy with. The result, after 10 years of research and development, is a range of loudspeakers which we believe stand comparison with any in the world, and which, due to our unique in-room design system, will give you an unrivalled. quality of sound.
