	Sweet spot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A sweet spot is a place, often numerical as opposed to physical, where a combination of factors suggest a particularly suitable solution.
		In the middle is a sort of grey area, where the materials needed to construct an arch (for instance) would be about equal to the expense of the cabling needed for a suspension design.
		This is the "sweet spot" for the cable-stayed bridge that reduces the cabling and the materials.

		The sweet spot is not merely a fixed location awaiting discovery — if that were the case it could be found by a machine.
		By finding the sweet spot, you are defining what you consider to be the most desirable balance among multiple interrelated ranges of sonic elements.
		Sweet spots are contextual not only to the instrument, the mic, and the space, but also to the mood and arrangement of the song.

		The fourth characteristic spot is the dead spot.
		Dead spot is the spot where a ball doesn't bounce at all when the ball is dropped from above a freely suspended racket.
		So, when a ball hits the dead spot of the racket at rest, the ball doesn't move at all and the racket starts to move at the speed of the ball.

		A good way to get kids to understand the sweet spot is to hold a bat vertically with one hand and tap it with a hammer lightly along the length of its hitting surface.
		Batters know from experience that there is a sweet spot on the baseball bat, about 17 cm (6-1/2") from the end of the barrel, where the shock of the impact, felt by the hands, is reduced to such an extent that the batter is almost unaware of the collision.
		Contrary to popular opinion, the two sweet spots do not coincide with the point at which the ball rebounds with maximum speed, nor do they define the spots where the force on the hand is zero.

		The sweet spot of a bat exists partly because bat vibrations are not excited significantly at that spot and partly because the spot is close to the centre of percussion.
		The ideal spot to hit the ball is half way between the two nodes since both modes will be excited but only with small amplitude.

		In the wave physics field, the nodes are defined as the particular points that never move at all in a standing wave (a wave that doesn't move along the string).
		The latter is "the node" that is considered to be a sweet spot.
		For the same reason as the node of first harmonic, the one at the grip is not a sweet spot (Try to hit a ball with grip, if you want.).There are more nodes on the string for the post-second harmonics, but those don't affect as much as the node for second harmonic does.

		Prime listening position for an audio system; the "best seat in the house." The sweet spot is the listening position for which an audio system is optimized.
		Depending on the given system, the sweet spot may be large and able to accommodate multiple listeners or very small placing a single listener in the position with no room to move.
		All systems have a sweet spot, but that does not mean there are not other listening positions that afford great sound.

		Alternative approaches to provide multiple sweet spots have been developed by audio companies, but those algorithms average sound data, a process that can yield problems when sound waves cancel each other out.
