Acoustic Baffle: How Acoustic Cavities Shape Waterfall Plot

By Vitaly Fedorov | Last Updated on October 4, 2026 | Posted on October 4, 2026

When discussing headphone performance, frequency response is often the first metric that comes to mind. However, to truly understand the transient behavior and time-domain characteristics of a headphone, audio engineers rely on the Cumulative Spectral Decay (CSD), commonly known as the waterfall plot. A crucial element dictating the shape of this plot is the acoustic baffle and the associated acoustic cavities within the headphone enclosure.
