"Sound is half of the picture."


George Lucas

‘The final editor of a movie is the projectionist.’


Martin Scorsese

The ultimate goals of Audio Reproduction are to reconstruct the sonic image and reproduce the sound spectral information, the same as the source inputs. Due to the differences between all listening rooms, the speaker config and the calibration process must be well designed and accurately processed.

Case 1

The sound mixed in the studio was so great, but it sounds so different in the commercial listening environments. Why is there so much degradation in the consumer experience?

Case 2

 I have bought a very good loudspeaker; the frequency response on its specifications is very flat. Why does the measurement we take in the listening room look so different from the flat response?

Case 3

Have you ever felt that one of your channel speakers sounds really good to you, but sounds so different in other channel speakers, even when using the same speaker model and running through the same signal processing?

What caused these Sound quality issues in sound systems?

Below we list out the causes of these sound quality inconsistency problems:

  • The frequency responses are perceptually different between every reverberant listening environment due to contamination of reflections
  • Flattening the frequency response of direct/reflected accumulated sound solely by analyzing machines
  • The inherent differences between our human hearing system and analyzing machines in the accumulation of direct/reflected sound
  • No standardized calibration method for consistent perceptual sound quality
  • The infinite variation of reflection patterns in listening environments

 

These problems also lead to the “Circle of Confusion”, which makes the problem even harder to solve.

Timbre Chart Tuning Method is the solution!

This method can tune every sound system to have the same best sound quality characteristics, regardless of what speakers and amplifiers we use. The idea of this method is to use our perception of the best sound in a perfect environment as a reference to tune the sound system in the imperfect environment to have the same best outcome.

What is the best audio system?

 If you love audio and sound systems, you probably have one or two systems or speaker models in mind that you believe are the best we can get. You may even think that it is an end-game loudspeaker that can deliver the best sound in the world. But have you ever thought about what criteria would make it sound good?

Spectral/Spatial Correction (with Timbre Chart Tuning Method)

Timbre Chart Tuning Method for any non-anechoic room

A new technically advanced method that can only be found with us.

Specific Channel Balance for any Reverberant Room

The traditional C-weighting Channel Balance won’t work with our Timbre Chart Tuning Method. We use other SPL measurements to keep the level standard and balanced in the reverberant rooms.

Phase/Time Alignment for the reference listening position

We use every measure to keep the phase linear (including FIR filter design, coaxial speaker drivers) to achieve “Auditory Proximity” if possible.


Sound System Potential Unleashing/Commissioning

Speaker Configuration Design for Sonic Image Reconstruction

Perfectly balancing between sound propagation coverage and sonic image reconstruction. We have a tangible illustration for designing a speaker configuration that can take full advantage of the benefits of the “object-based audio” in the cinema immersive audio.

Custom-made Sound System Design

No matter what hardware you choose to use, we design any complexity of sound system with the highest cost-effective approach.

Speaker Array Design

We have our own calculations for designing the best possible speaker array (including Uncoupled Array) to achieve high-quality sound for a large listening area. Our Subwoofer Array Design can also eliminate Room Modes through our sophisticated positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at ronald.lai@kino-acoustics.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Especially the high-end speakers. We call this “marginal gain”, which is very hard to achieve, yet it is most worth paying for.


At this moment, no. The test tones used in our Timbre Chart Tuning Method are created in an anechoic condition, following our engineers’ own hearing responses. Our engineers are well-trained to have the capability to identify 31-band noise differences between two sound sources. We are currently developing a solution for easily creating this set of test tones and a process to utilize our method in our sound processor.


Very good question, and the answer is no. 

Because this method is to recreate how the perfect response sounds in a perfect environment, it will not factor in the hearing characteristics of our engineers. Let’s say if our engineer has low sensitivity in very high frequency (VHF) due to his age, those VHF sounds will still feel low to him in his tuning result.


There is an easy way to check if the environment alters the sound in your system. Play the pink noise in the same speaker in a different position of the room and do an A/B comparison, if you can hear there are differences between the noise, that is the alternations of the room.
