Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: Dielectric first, then vibration...

"In such a situation as this, the cable is in a pressure zone so the cable can be exposed to sound pressure levels as much as 6dB greater than if it were well away from the floor (or wall for that matter) due to the direct/reflected waves adding in phase (which is the principle of pressure zone microphones)."

Precisely. This is why the air motion at the solid boundary is zero.

The question is whether speaker cables suffer from acoustic interference from motion or pressure. I suppose a jacketed, loosely-braided design could suffer more from pressure, while a compact design could suffer more from motion. I don't have enough experience to say whether the set of speaker cables contains both types.
