Practical Instruction on the Art and Science of
Acoustic Design and Architecture Build your own acoustic
environments such as recording studios, control rooms,
and home listening rooms with expert insights from two
engineering professionals. Fully expanded to cover the
latest methods and software tools, Master Handbook of
Acoustics, Fifth Edition presents clear explanations of
acoustic phenomena and provides a hands-on approach to
room design. Learn how to perform acoustic measurements,
choose room dimensions, assign speaker placement,
analyze response curves, and design and install sound
absorbers and diffusers. You will also find details on
how to fine-tune room reverberation, minimize external
noise, and apply psychoacoustic concepts.Master Handbook
of Acoustics, Fifth Edition explains how to: Determine
how sound propagates in open and enclosed spaces Measure
sound-pressure levels and work with decibels Analyze the
characteristics of room modal resonances Treat rooms for
optimal early reflections, reverberation, and diffusion
Minimize acoustic distortion, comb-filter effects, and
HVAC interference Construct high-quality stereo and
surround-sound listening rooms Design personal and
professional recording studios and control rooms
Understand the acoustics of auditoriums and concert
halls Optimize room designs using measurement, modeling,
and auralization software |
