sound field

Audio pressure distribution

A sound field is the distribution of acoustic energy throughout a space—how sound waves propagate, reflect, and interact within an environment.

Acousticians analyze sound fields when designing concert halls, recording studios, or noise barriers.

In audio technology, a sound field microphone captures spatial information for surround sound reproduction.
