Timbral

Information on Timbral Last Updated: 11.08.07

Refers to the overall frequency balance of a system. In a perfect world, all systems would have complete tonal neutrality. With current technology, this ideal is approached but not met. Listening to many equally "good" speakers will reveal that some sound warmer than others, some sound brighter etc. In a surround sound system, it is important that all speakers have a close timbral match for the highest degree of sonic realism.
