8.4 Bass reinforcement
By properly selecting the distances to each surface, we can extend the in-roombass response of the speaker much deeper than its anechoic response. Please see Figure 8.5. This is because the bass reinforcement provides a boost which is complementary to the bass roll-offthat would be present in an anechoic chamber
