Holman and Chris Kyriakakis set out to determine the negative effects that room acoustics have on sound and in that process, design technology that would correct almost every room.
Remember the name Tomlinson Holman? Most Home Cinema enthusiasts will know that Mr Holman was the inventor and designer of Lucasfilm’s THX sound system, and in some circles it is even claimed that Holman is the namesake of the system (Tomlinson Holman eXperiment), although Mr Lucas may have something to say about that.
So what is Audyssey and what exactly does it attempt to do?

This approach works well, but as you will appreciate such software in budget to high end integrated amplifiers will not be overly powerful, but will make an excellent attempt to get your room sounding as good as it can within these limitations. This system promises to fully EQ your cinema room by using the software built in the amplifiers and a small microphone. One name which has started to appear recently on integrated amplifiers, from the likes of Denon and Onkyo, is Audyssey. There are other products like Velodyne’s SMS1 which performs the same tricks as the BFD, and system solutions from Lexicon and Meridian, all available at an extra cost, but none of them are as flexible, or have as much processing power as the unit we are reviewing here.

An item like the Behringer Feedback Destroyer Pro has been an AVForums favourite for a number of years as a way to equalise your subwoofer within the listening room. However, in recent times we have seen some products hit the consumer market which help correct certain issues within the domestic listening room. General EQ using fixed or even adjustable bands won’t correct an issue, either, as they can add phase problems which will affect the overall tonal balance of the sound (sometimes referred to as smearing or muddying). With general Sound equalisers they can correct the frequency response in a limited bandwidth but cannot correct the time domain of the signal. However in the consumer market, and certainly in the world of the audiophile, EQ has never really been accepted as a solution, usually because the products available over the years have added more problems than they have solved. Where sound systems are added to a room, a sound engineer is also on hand to make sure the EQ is a perfect match for that space so the system can perform at its best.

The use of EQ has been employed for many years in professional circles. So the only other option you will have is to use sound equalisation. So how do we combat acoustic problems in dedicated cinema rooms and living rooms alike? Well if you value your marriage, sound treatment on the walls is a no go, and more than likely you will also have to compromise on speaker and subwoofer positioning. In a poor room, you could spend thousands on the world’s best components and still have a final sound which is no better than a £100 mini system. Let’s face it, there is no such thing as the perfect room, and even specifically designed spaces for audio playback can introduce problems, albeit maybe with not the same degree of seriousness. Combatting these effects requires the correct placement of speakers and electronics, along with room alterations like dampening boards, bass traps and sound dispersion treatments. The physical space where your system is employed will have some positive effects on the sound, but in the vast majority of cases it will add detrimental sound waves, reflections and null points which can muddy the sound and cause boom and distortion. The most important component to any sound system is the room in which it is used.
What is the most important component in your Hi Fi or Home Cinema system? Is it the Amplifier, Speakers, Source machines, or your display device? Well your answer to that question should read, none of the above.
