The ideal point source model in a vacuum that emits an impulse in all directions simultaneously.

Professional Definition
> Spherical acoustic wave – a wave whose front is a spherical surface.

The pressure level decreases by 6 dB with each doubling of the distance from the source.

## Acoustics in Simple Words
An analogy of an inflated balloon. The same amount of energy must "serve" an increasingly larger sphere, which is why sound becomes quieter with distance.

## Summary
Model of sound propagation from a point source in open space.

Nyquist Team

The Nyquist team is a group of enthusiasts in acoustics, design, and technology who combine engineering knowledge with aesthetic sensitivity every day. We create solutions that improve acoustic comfort and give spaces a unique character. On the blog, we share our experiences, knowledge, and inspirations drawn from our daily work on projects carried out across Poland and abroad. We believe that good acoustics is not just a technique – it’s a way of creating spaces where one simply enjoys being.
