Acoustic lobing
When we hear a sound, it comes from somewhere. Sometimes, it can be hard to tell exactly where the sound is coming from because it can bounce off different surfaces and change as it travels through the air.
Acoustic lobing is what happens when two or more speakers are sending out sound waves and those waves interfere with each other. This can create areas where the sound is louder and areas where it is quieter, sort of like ripples in a pond when you throw a rock in.
If you've ever been at a concert or listened to music in a big room, you might have noticed that the sound can be really different depending on where you're standing. That's because the speakers are sending out sound waves in all different directions, and when those waves meet up, they can create these areas of loud and quiet sound.
To avoid acoustic lobing, sound technicians can use special techniques and equipment to make sure that the speakers are pointing in the right direction and that the sound waves aren't interfering with each other too much. It's like trying to make sure everyone is playing together nicely in a musical band!
