Control-Room Design and Monitoring Considerations for Accurate Stereo Imaging

This paper will first define the concepts of auditory stereo imaging and discuss the reasons why imaging is so important to the final listener's perceptions. I then outline the important factors within the listening environment and their impact on stereo imaging. The paper also describes various monitoring systems and how the selection of the monitor system works in conjunction with the room's acoustical treatments. Lastly the paper discusses specific construction details and offers design concepts for broadcast control rooms. Practical solutions to existing problems are discussed and well as ideas for new construction.
