More About the Author
Product Description
Review
‘The author strikes a balance between theory and practice as both come through in this text. Overall, this book comes across as highly readable and the material is practical enough to be readily applicable.’ – Noise Control Engineering Journal
Product Description
It outlines the theory and practice of sound behaviour in enclosed spaces. Particular emphasis is given to the properties and calculation of reverberation, the most obvious acoustical feature of a closed room. Further key topics include the mechanisms of sound absorption and psychoacoustical factors, from which design parameters and figures of merit are derived. Two chapters are devoted to practical questions such as measurement techniques and the procedures of room acoustical design. The interaction between a room's acoustic properties and its electroacoustic systems is also considered, and refined systems for optimizing listening conditions in a room are presented.
This edition includes a new list of symbols, and updated sections include the measurement of the impulse response including a discussion of distortions, sound propagation as a diffusive process and scattering by wall irregularities.

Customer Reviews
Any textbook that makes it to the fourth edition generally has something going for it, and this book certainly has it by the bucketload. It's sensibly laid out, and the English translation is excellent. I quoted it as a reference source in my Master's in acoustics, and I cannot recommend it highly enough - it's excellent.
A reference book in the acoustics area, that has been referenced to in almost every book written after it.
