Seating that avoids low-order null lines reduces seat-to-seat variation
Evidence
The listening areas used here are different from that used in the preceding examples, so the MSV numbers will not be directly comparable. Given that we have already seen that moving listeners away from low-order null lines is advantageous, it is clear that some of the large seating configurations in the new study will yield higher MSVs than the smaller, more centrally located areas. Those that avoid the null lines (LCm and LRm) would be expected to show improvements over those that do not. — Toole, Floyd E, Sound reproduction- the acoustics and…, 1595
