A methodological critique of local room equalization techniques

A local room equalization scheme for an audio system is desired where the equalization is valid over an area large enough to allow for head movements and ideally for other listeners situated nearby. The authors aim to provide some introductory insight into the size of this area, termed region of equalization (ROE), which depends on many factors-room geometry, boundary treatments, speaker/listener positions, etc. The work forms part of a more detailed study currently in progress of the room-loudspeaker interface and its effective control
