When we listen to sound in our rooms we are listening to air pressure. Sound waves are not traveling in a straight line to our ears. There are 2 main parts to what the sound pressure (build up) is doing. One, pressure zones, the other, laminar flow.
This constant build up of energy is in every room and is what you hear. As the pressure forms it makes pressure zones that you can easily listen to as you walk around the room talking or making sound. Some areas are at a plus signal and some at a minus.
Pressure Zone Controlling is what we have named taking control of a zone in the room and telling it what to sound like with the use of our acoustical/mechanical tuning tools. Below we are controlling the zone with PZCs and Sound Shutters.
PZCs take the acoustical energy brought to them by the laminar flow or from a pressure zone and converts it to mechanical energy, (which makes it tunable) and reintroduces it back into the air.
The brass tuning bolts are where the PZCs are adjusted and the effects are huge. Tuning pressure zones are the last sound adjustments made in the audio chain and are the biggest as far as the size of signal (sound waves) in the chain.
Below is a typical placement diagram for PZCs in a audio room setting. There are 2 PZCFS opposite the chair and the rest are mini controllers.
