The Mysteries and Secrets of the Golden Ratio in Hi-Fi

AUDIOPHILE REFLECTIONS — #01 Spring Edition

The golden ratio runs through mathematics, music, architecture and visual arts. Expressed by the Greek letter φ, it appears in structures often perceived as balanced.

Applied to audio, it is not a magic formula: it can become a criterion for studying proportions, room dimensions, loudspeakers and the distribution of resonances.

The article separates the mathematical value of the ratio from more speculative interpretations, showing where it can be a design tool and where it risks becoming mere rhetoric.
