First, your reply was sequitur to a post regarding the use of phase gratings - something that can be made without too much difficulty, or which can certainly be purchased by the "average" , if somewhat incompetent, reader!
And my reply followed parallel structure in response! (maybe that is part of the source of our digression...?)
But now apparently we have so many issues combined into one general assertion.
No, I don't assume that most or all here are intimate with the foundations of acoustical physics, nor of the more advanced acoustical measurement or modeling platforms.
Nor do they need to be, as it is more than practical for the average person to have a qualified and competent operator perform such measurements for them. But then, understanding the basic tools and what information they provide is not difficult - and it can be quite informative!
But then, few are going to be afforded that opportunity if they do not even know they even exist!!! And like it or not, the area of acoustical physics has literally undergone its own 'quantum leap' over the past 40 years since Heyser introduced TDS. Unfortunately. far too many are still persistying in holding on ever sop tightly to outdated notions for lack of an awareness and understanding of better models - which do indeed exist.
Wow, and so many seem so concerned about my affiliation in the industry...
As stated, I am glad to divulge any personal information one on one via personal communication. And I can even drop some names if that will impress anyone...
I don't claim to know it all! And I am not selling anything!
I am not representing ANY commercial interest. I am simply representing valid and more recent proven and applied acoustical 'notions'...known by some, and still unknown to others.
But how do (for just a tip of the iceberg) a couple of degrees in physics (trust me, it gets worse ;-), an extensive background in professional music, internal design of massively parallel computers, directed research and classified product development in optics and communications, and business - as well as operational proficiency and application of the various platforms for over 20 years count... for a start? Oh, and I have read a few copies of Mix, Live Sound and ProSound News...Does that enhance my credibility?
But I assume that if I mention something confusing or unknown, that if one is curious enough, they will PM me and ask for a better explanation. And I am glad to try to help. I would rather try to expand their concepts and understanding rather than to assume that " it's probably outside the scope of work for the OP who would likely have to cut through sheet rock and find some way to install these in the ceiling, walls, etc."
If it is, they are welcome to PM me and I will take as much time as is reasonable to try to further explain it on a level with which they are most comfortable.
I will present ideas, and I trust individuals can determine themselves what they are capable of doing. I am not going to dumb it down based on my assumption that 'they' are too stupid or incapable! That's not for me to decide.
So, dare I ask, is anyone interested in the
acoustical concepts???
