By methodically measuring the effects of room size, building materials, furnishings, and speaker placement on music reproduction, we create products that sound great in any room of your home. We're pioneers in this field — the first, and we believe, only speaker company to focus entirely on designing speakers mindful of the interaction of placement on room acoustics.

Only Bay Audio has on-board filters to optimize the speaker for its intended placement.

These are the most common room acoustic issues, and a description of the controls we developed to solve them.

Room Modes
Reproducing balanced bass is the trickiest task an installer faces. Low frequencies are affected by the size and shape of your listening area, where you place the speaker, and where you sit to listen. Every room creates pockets of strong bass (usually along the walls and in corners), and pockets where the bass seems non-existent (unfortunately, usually at the listening position). These pockets are known as “standing waves.”

Solving this problem requires multiple sources of bass. We designed the Cube to play full range in the theater - reproducing much of the same bass information sent to the subwoofer. Pairing two full-range speakers with a subwoofer puts three sources of bass into the room, greatly reducing standing waves.

We offer in-home tuning of your Bay Audio theater system. This exclusive service insures that your system sounds as good as possible. We send a Bay Audio engineer to your home -- complete with measurement and tuning equipment -- for a full day's work. When we're done, your system will sound great.
