Adjacent boundaries alter radiated sound power via acoustical radiation resistance

Evidence

This tells us that eliminating the adjacent-boundary effect will not eliminate all problems, but it is definitely one of the problems. The adjacent-boundary effect is one that, because it changes the acoustical radiation resistance experienced by the loudspeaker, the sound power radiated by the loudspeaker at different frequencies is altered. — Toole, Floyd E, Sound reproduction- the acoustics and…, 1468

• DEFINE: Identifies acoustical radiation resistance as the mechanism by which boundary proximity changes radiated sound power — a core psychoacoustic modeling term.
