How Baffle Step Compensation Affects Audio Published on Jul 25, 2023 by [MISCO Speakers](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/author/misco-speakers) You probably know sound travels in a wave away from its source. That wave is created by a speaker as it pressurizes/modulates the air around it. The waves have an amplitude based on the size of the speaker and how much power is being sent to it. The sound’s frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz), tells us how many cycles that wave makes in one second. The lower the frequency (fewer Hz) the lower the sound and the longer the wave (or period). Higher-frequency sounds have shorter periods. The differences can be significant. ![Difference between high & low frequency sound waves](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/blog/Screen%20Shot%202021-11-03%20at%204.17.17%20PM.png?width=317&name=Screen%20Shot%202021-11-03%20at%204.17.17%20PM.png)A [midrange speaker](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/mid-range-vs-full-range-speakers) may be designed to handle sounds with frequencies between 300 Hz and 5,000 Hz - the difference in those periods is roughly 40 inches versus less than 3 inches. To find the wavelength (ƛ) of a frequency (*f*) in inches, we need to know sound travels at 13,500 inches per second (that’s its velocity v). We take the velocity and divide it by the frequency to get the wavelength. That’s ƛ=v/f, or specific for inches ƛ=13,500/f. This is important to understand when considering how a baffle affects audio. A baffle is the plane where a speaker is mounted or the front of a loudspeaker enclosure. If the distance from the center of the speaker cone to the edge of the baffle is larger than the wavelength, then the sound will hit the baffle and bounce out away from the speaker. Resource: [Common Mistakes Made in Mounting Speakers](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/tips-for-enclosures-and-mounting-of-speakers) For a person listening directly in front of the speaker, they won’t hear the mixed sound as it was originally intended. The higher-frequency sounds, which bounce off the baffle, will be projected forward and be perceived as artificially amplified compared to the low-frequency sounds with waves too long to be affected by the baffle. The increased output of higher-frequency sounds caused by this is called the baffle step response. The shape and size of the loudspeaker’s enclosure also affect the frequency response of a speaker. ## Easy as Pi Sound doesn’t just travel forward from a speaker. The waves also wrap around and fill whatever space is available. If a speaker system is mounted flat against a wall, all the sound waves will bounce forward, and the speaker will sound louder compared to if it were sitting outside in the open without any walls around. The speaker system flat against the wall is said to be operating in half space (2 pi for the mathematicians out there). The speaker system outside, without walls around it, is in full space (4 pi). A speaker system in a corner where two walls meet at a right angle is in quarter space (1 pi) (one trick to improving the low-frequency performance of a speaker system is to move it to the corner of a room). All of these scenarios need to be accounted for when you’re [designing an OEM loudspeaker system](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/oem-speaker-design-video), so it’s important to think about [the speaker materials](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/how-important-are-materials-in-speaker-design) and where the speakers will be used before they’re built. ![4 pi environment speaker wall](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/blog/Screen%20Shot%202021-11-03%20at%204.21.03%20PM.png?width=238&name=Screen%20Shot%202021-11-03%20at%204.21.03%20PM.png)![1 pi environment speaker wall](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/blog/Screen%20Shot%202021-11-03%20at%204.22.01%20PM.png?width=279&name=Screen%20Shot%202021-11-03%20at%204.22.01%20PM.png)![2 pi environment speaker wall](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/blog/Screen%20Shot%202021-11-03%20at%204.21.42%20PM.png?width=177&name=Screen%20Shot%202021-11-03%20at%204.21.42%20PM.png) ## Correcting Baffle Steps Sound engineers correct for the baffle step using a baffle step circuit (BSC). This relatively straightforward [crossover](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/audio-dsp-crossover-solutions) turns down sounds at a certain frequency, so they don’t play too loud when their shorter waves bounce off the baffle and get artificially amplified. Generally, it reduces the higher-frequency sounds by 6dB. To properly set a BSC and establish which [frequency sounds](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/how-frequency-response-graphs-can-be-misinterpreted) will be turned down, the sound engineer must take into account both the size of the baffle and the [DC resistance of the speaker](https://blog.miscospeakers.com/speaker-impedance-and-oem-audio-design) (typically 4, 6, or 8 Ohms). The higher the Ohms, the higher the BSC inductor and resistor will need to be set to achieve the same result. ## Testing Speaker Baffles Many speakers, up to 8” in diameter, are measured by the manufacturer for frequency response on an IEC 268-5 standard baffle that measures 53” wide by about 65” tall. MISCO measures and tests most speakers on an “infinite” baffle that is much larger. This lets us get a more accurate picture of the speaker’s frequency response. You can also use [MISCO’s Helmholtz Perception Studio](https://www.miscospeakers.com/why-misco/critical-listening), which is a specially designed critical listening space, to simulate the environment where your speakers will be deployed. A speaker-switching mechanism in the room allows you to conduct real-time tests on improvements to enclosures and crossovers. Still baffled by how this all works?
