In normal conditions (e.g., a living room) the total sound power emitted by the loudspeaker plays an important role in the listening experience. Along with the direct sound and first reflections, the sound power defines the loudspeaker performance in the room. The acoustic resonances of the loudspeaker system are especially important, and thanks to spatial averaging, are more easily revealed in the sound power response. In this paper we use time-frequency analysis to study the spatially averaged impulse response and reveal the structure of its resonances. We also show that the net effect of loudspeaker equalization is not only the attenuation of the resonances but also the shortening of their duration.
